But cron isn't installed.

Seems unlikely. There are system cron jobs that are not yet
converted to systemd timers. A bookworm install I did just yesterday
has cron jobs in /etc/cron.d/ that require the "cron" package.

What are you typing to edit root's crontab? What output do you get
that you don't expect?

crontab -e

Bash tells me that the "crontab" command wasn't found.

dpkg -l |grep cron returned nothing.
