Package: anacron
Severity: normal
Dear anacron maintainer,
(I'm reporting this via reportbug because the contact e-mail
shaleh@debian.org no longer works directly.)
the manpage-l10n project maintains a large number of translations of
man pages both from a large variety of sources (including anacron) as
well for a large variety of target languages.
During their work translators notice different possible issues in the
original (english) man pages. Sometimes this is a straightforward
typo, sometimes a hard to read sentence, sometimes this is a
convention not held up and sometimes we simply do not understand the
original.
We use several distributions as sources and update regularly (at
least every 2 month). This means we are fairly recent (some
distributions like archlinux also update frequently) but might miss
the latest upstream version once in a while, so the error might be
already fixed. We apologize and ask you to close the issue immediately
if this should be the case, but given the huge volume of projects and
the very limited number of volunteers we are not able to double check
each and every issue.
Secondly we translators see the manpages in the neutral po format,
i.e. converted and harmonized, but not the original source (be it man,
groff, xml or other). So we cannot provide a true patch (where
possible), but only an approximation which you need to convert into
your source format.
Finally the issues I'm reporting have accumulated over time and are
not always discovered by me, so sometimes my description of the
problem my be a bit limited - do not hesitate to ask so we can clarify
them.
I'm now reporting the errors for your project. If future reports
should use another channel, please let me know.

Issue: B<cron(8)> → B<cron>(8)
"B<Anacron> is used to execute commands periodically, with a frequency "
"specified in days. Unlike B<cron(8)>, it does not assume that the machine "
"is running continuously. Hence, it can be used on machines that are not "
"running 24 hours a day to control regular jobs as daily, weekly, and monthly "
"jobs."

Issue: TZ → B<TZ>
"Make sure your time-zone is set correctly before Anacron is started since "
"the time-zone affects the date. This is usually accomplished by setting the "
"TZ environment variable, or by installing a I</usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime> "
"file. See B<tzset>(3) for more information."

Issue: B<anacrontab(5)> → B<anacrontab>(5)
"When executed, Anacron reads a list of jobs from a configuration file, "
"normally I</etc/anacrontab> (see B<anacrontab(5)>). This file contains the "
"list of jobs that Anacron controls. Each job entry specifies a period in "
"days, a delay in minutes, a unique job identifier, and a shell command."
"Contains specifications of jobs. See B<anacrontab(5)> for a complete "
"description."

Issue: The hourly → the hourly
"By default, The hourly activation of anacron will not take place when the "
"system is using battery and no AC power is connected to the computer. It is "
"meant to reduce power usage and extend battery life, but such design might "
"lead to unwanted results."
