Package: anacron Version: 2.3-34 Severity: important Since the upgrade to 2.3-34 anacron no longer seems to execute jobs. I just expected my weekly cron jobs, but nothing happened. Since most (ana)cronjobs are silent, it's hard to notice, but the (most important) weekly jobs are not run.
Looking at my logs I noticed that the anacron log messages changed a
lot after the last update:
