Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-123
Severity: important
You recently dropped support for checking lost+found directory and thus
removed /etc/cron.daily/standard. Unfortunately, removing it from the
package doesn't remove it from the user's system...
$ ls -l /etc/cron.daily/standard
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2947 août 7 2011 /etc/cron.daily/standard
$ md5sum /etc/cron.daily/standard
a28d268048a6d0ab2903751578028470 /etc/cron.daily/standard
$ dpkg -s cron |grep /etc/cron.daily/standard
/etc/cron.daily/standard a28d268048a6d0ab2903751578028470 obsolete
You should use "dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile" to correctly remove
the file on upgrade (use debian/cron.maintscript with debhelper, see man
dh_installdeb).
TIA.
Cheers,

Ok. Thanks for the information. I'm closing the bug.
And it was not a waste of time, some users might encounter similar
issues and, even if cron cannot avoid them, it's good to have them
documented somewhere.
Best regards
Javier
