Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-129
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I have just upgraded cron from unstable, and, first of all, it gives a
few warnings. Secondly, are this warnings benign or not?
Setting up cron (3.0pl1-129) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/cron ...
stat: cannot stat '*': No such file or directory
stat: cannot stat '*': No such file or directory
stat: cannot stat '*': No such file or directory
Warning: * is not a regular file!
I looked a bit in postinst file, and see that it executes three times
stat. In my case, after installation, the directory
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/ is empty.
Cheers,
Eugen
