Hmmm.

findutils: /etc/cron.daily/find

/etc/cron.daily/find
It continues to list cron.daily/find because it still knows about it:
dpkg -s findutils
Package: findutils
Essential: yes
Status: install ok installed
Priority: required
Section: utils
Installed-Size: 1692
Maintainer: Andreas Metzler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Architecture: amd64
Version: 4.4.0-2
Pre-Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1)

Conffiles:
/etc/cron.daily/find 7eb265877a0e861849027c1f6ec8e8ec obsolete
^^^^^^^^

Hmmm, didn't seem to happen here. If by "previous versions", you mean
a while ago, and the config file was removed prior to about September last
year, then it could be my own fault when I transferred parts of /etc from
an old machine to a new machine.
Otherwise if it's more recent, I've got no explanation, and this was
probably just due to some cosmic rays passing at an innopportune time.

It's all uptodate sid:

Version: 4.4.0-2

Version: 4.4.0-2
If the file not being deleted is just an anomaly that can't be explained,
I'm happy with the bug being closed.
