Ok. The Ubuntu position is that ubuntu-minimal is the package that defines the smallest system considered Ubuntu. If you don't have ubuntu-minimal installed, you have a pile of packages, but not an Ubuntu system that we can provide support for.
It's impressive that you had a system that has been working continuously without ubuntu-minimal since 2008, I'm glad it's worked for you so far. But the resolution of this bug is that you should install the ubuntu- minimal package. We will not add additional dependencies on the usrmerge package in an already-released LTS. Also, if when you say "upgrade from Debian to Ubuntu" you mean cross- grading an existing Debian system, this is not a supported Ubuntu installation path, but if you happen to know whether you followed a cross-grading guide somewhere that fails to mention you should install ubuntu-minimal, I would try to get that guide updated so other users don't trip on such problems. ** Changed in: debianutils (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix ** Changed in: systemd-cron (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to debianutils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1993037 Title: Ubuntu 22.04, debianutils moved run-parts into /usr/bin, breaking systemd-cron in the course Status in debianutils package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in systemd-cron package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: (Found in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) package debianutils keeps run-parts executable in /usr/bin/ while package systemd-cron tries to find it in /bin/ $ which run-parts /usr/bin/run-parts $ dpkg -S `which run-parts` debianutils: /usr/bin/run-parts $ grep =/bin/run /lib/systemd/system/cron* /lib/systemd/system/cron-daily.service:ExecStart=/bin/run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily /lib/systemd/system/cron-hourly.service:ExecStart=/bin/run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly /lib/systemd/system/cron-monthly.service:ExecStart=/bin/run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly /lib/systemd/system/cron-weekly.service:ExecStart=/bin/run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly Because of that, cron-daily.serice gets info "failed" state soon after system reboot.
