Ditto.  I finally wound up uninstalling it.  The following might prove
useful:

# strace anacron -s
execve("/usr/sbin/anacron", ["anacron", "-s"], [/* 28 vars */]) = 0
brk(0)                                  = 0x10015730
open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY)    = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY)      = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=0200000, st_size=938524676, ...}) = 0
mmap(ptrace: umoven: Input/output error
)                                  = 0x30014000
close(3)                                = 0
open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY)        = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=0200000, st_size=938524676, ...}) = 0
read(3, "\177ELF\1\2\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096
mmap(ptrace: umoven: Input/output error
)                                  = 0x30018000
mmap(ptrace: umoven: Input/output error
)                                  = 0xfee9000
mprotect(0xffc9000, 156552, PROT_NONE)  = 0
mmap(0, 0, PROT_NONE, MAP_FILE, 0, 0)   = 0xffc9000
mmap(0, 0, PROT_NONE, MAP_FILE, 0, 0)   = 0xffeb000
close(3)                                = 0
munmap(0x30014000, 13327)               = 0
getpid()                                = 1752
brk(0)                                  = 0x10015730
brk(0x100158d0)                         = 0x100158d0
brk(0)                                  = 0x100158d0
brk(0x10016000)                         = 0x10016000

At this point it simply stops.
