cron.daily and updatedb



Hello,

I have the following problem:

I would like to have the locate db updated only once a week, and
not daily as per default settings. I have therefore done the
following:

- dpkg-diverted /etc/cron.daily/find to /etc/cron.weekly/find 
- moved /etc/cron.daily/find to /etc/cron.weekly

However, my box keeps running updatedb each and every day, and I
could not figure out why.

Any ideas around here?

I am running sid, with the following packages concerned there:
anacron        2.3-7
cron           3.0pl1-72
findutils      4.1.7-2

Maybe anacron is the cause?

Thanks,

Dominique
