Title:
trusty → xenial upgrade fails to upgrade /etc/init.d/cron
Status in cron package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in cron source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Upgrading from trusty to xenial is meant to replace "/etc/init.d/cron
-> /lib/init/upstart-job" with a real file /etc/init.d/cron.
This works fine in a schroot, but in a container or a VM you end up
with
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Feb 9 2013 /etc/init.d/cron ->
/lib/init/upstart-job
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3049 Feb 17 18:25 /etc/init.d/cron.dpkg-new
Reproducer:
- start trusty container or VM
- echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main restricted
universe multiverse' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list
- sudo apt update
- sudo apt-get install -y cron
