As a test, on my working unstable system, I did this:
I made a note of the current links for 'cron'
ran 'rm /etc/rc*.d/*cron'
ran '/etc/init.d/cron stop'
ran 'bash /var/lib/dpkg/info/cron.postinst'
and found it to restore the default setup.
I thought that 'reinstall' seems very time consuming and thought that
there may be a diffent way to do it. Would this work for (most|all)?
cheers,
Kev
