I think anacron (and the same for corn, at) should always be started, regardless of AC or not. It's the duty of the respective cron-job to determine, whether the sys is on battery and whether the job is so important to have it run anyway.

Apart from that, I cannot believe that this severe problem hasn't been fixed since 2007. It makes anacron useless (at least in default config), thus I'm raising the severity.


Regards,
Chris.

btw: Pascal, as a minor improvement: I think would be ok to remove the check for anacron in the /etc/cron.*/0anacron scripts, wouldn't it? If those scripts are there, than the package is installed thus anacron is also there.
