I had this same problem on my R6 system, even after upgrading base and
devel the problem continued. After upgrading some of the admin (I don't
remember which, but cron was among them) packages, the problem went away.
Seems to be some longwinded bookkeeping going on.
Try upgrading the admin section and see if that fixes it.
