Bug#35714: anacron and cron both run cron.daily !
Package: anacron, cron
Version: 2.0.1-2, 3.0pl1-45
See the messages below, which seem to be due to anacron and cron both
running cron.daily at the same time.
It should be some program's job to ensure that no two copies of any
one job are run. Usually cron does this. Anacron's presence prevents
that.
Ian.
