I'll talk to them. The VPS was acting quite strangely, anyhow, and rather than fight with Bookworm, I nuked the VPS and created another one from their bullseye image.
Or you could ask your VPS provider why they aren't providing "important" packages in their default image.
This is the first time it's happened. Of the Linux images I've used there, Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04, 18.04, 20.04, 22.04, and Debian bullseye all shipped with cron properly installed. Come to think of it... I just checked a local bookworm VM I'm running at home, and it has cron installed, too. I'll open a ticket.
Thanks :)
