Public bug reported:
This bug isn't related to cron or anacron.
It is a cross configuration bug.
The /etc/crontab file shows the below line:
-----
25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report
/etc/cron.daily )
-----
This means that the daily "cron" tasks will not be executed by "cron" if
"anacron" is installed but "anacron" will execute them instead.
However you can have "anacron" installed and power your computer off
only 1 time a week.
In this later case the daily "cron" tasks will be executed only 1 time a
week.
** Affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)

crontab assumes a daily computer poweroff when anacron is installed
