Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-123
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Hi.
Apparently, cron doesn't clear the PID file once stopped, so
subsequent invokations of:
/etc/init.d/cron stop
continue to try killing a process of that PID.
E.g.:
# /etc/init.d/cron stop
[ ok ] Stopping periodic command scheduler: cron.
# /etc/init.d/anacron stop && /etc/init.d/cron stop
[....] Stopping periodic command scheduler: cron/sbin/start-stop-daemon:
warning: failed to kill 10944: No such process
. ok
Given that any other process can have this PID in the meantime it may
not too unlikely break unrelated software or cause even serious
data loss; therefore marking it as critical.
Cheers,
Chris.

Description:
cron - process scheduling daemon
Closes: 615855 674192 679062 679106
Changes:
cron (3.0pl1-124) unstable; urgency=medium
.
[ Release targeted to Wheezy including fixes for critical/important bugs ]
* debian/{preinst,postinst,postrm}: remove obsolete /etc/cron.daily/standard
on upgrade. (Closes: #679062)
* debian/cron.init: Have the init.d file remove cron's pidfile if it
exists after killing the process. The pidfile should be removed
by cron itself (but it isn't) through its SIGhandler as done in later
versions in cron (4.1 and cronie). This fix is, however, simpler and less
intrusive. (Closes: 679106, 615855)
* debian/control:
- Reword last paragraph since cron does not provide any standard tasks
anymore. (Closes: 674192)
- Update to Standards-Version: 3.9.3 - which BTW includes an indication
on which are the valid cron filenames.
- Depend on debhelper >= 9 (lintian warning)
