Hello again, Jerry,

Your four lines of information give exactly the same information than your bug report's title. Please can you elaborate further? I tried to undestand why there was a dependency on systemd. cron depends on package init-system-helpers; when I run `apt-cache showpkg init-system-helpers`, I can see that an old version of init-system-helpers (version 1.56+nmu1) is depending on systemd. Other versions do no depend on it. Did you try to install a base system based on buster? This one is currently old-old-stable. Please give a try with bullseye or bookworm. As the dependency on systemd does not exist in distributions oldstable and stable, I shall close this bug report shortly. Best regards, Georges.
