Package: bcron
Version: 0.11-24
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
/var/spool/cron/crontabs is already managed elsewhere,
in cron-daemon-common.tmpfiles; and bcron Depends
on cron-daemon-common so it should always be there.
By the way bcron claims ownership of /var/spool/cron/crontabs,
it will be removed by dpkg when switchin from bcron
to another cron, which might have undesired effects.
Hopefuly a reboot (which reruns tmpfiles) will fix it.
I have no oppinion over /var/spool/cron/tmp;
if it is still needed I would suggests to:
- create it with debian/bcron.tmpfiles
- ensure it's "rm -rf"d on purge
Greetings
Alexandre
