Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu 13.04 (anacron-2.3-19ubuntu2) is started from
/etc/cron.d/anacron like this
start -q anacron
This means anacron itself and its child processes would inherit
environment from init/upstart not from crond. As result all environment
variables defined in /etc/environment won't be set (upstart does not use
pam_env.so). In my case, this leads to debtags job failed with network
unreachable error, because my host is behind a proxy and http_proxy
variable is defined in /etc/environment.
The bug does not affect Debian with Init System V, because invoke-rc.d
would start rc script directly.
I suppose anacron should be either started directly from
/etc/cron.d/anacron or modified so it use pam to properly initialize
session for a job.
