Hi folks, If you run Debian testing/unstable and ever installed anacron 2.3-33 on a systemd based system, then anacron will no longer be enabled and the daily/weekly/monthly cron jobs will not be run until it is. Since not all cron jobs have migrated to systemd timers, Debian testing/unstable systems with systemd and anacron may be missing some essential cron jobs, such as making backups of aptitude state. To see if a system is affected you can use these commands: zgrep -i anacron.*2.3-33 /var/log/apt/history.log* systemctl status anacron.service anacron.timer To re-enable anacron you can use these commands: sudo systemctl enable anacron.service anacron.timer sudo systemctl start anacron.service anacron.timer More details of this problem are available in these bugs: https://bugs.debian.org/1019554 https://bugs.debian.org/1020966 https://bugs.debian.org/1021496 -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
