Are you sure? I dont see why it should be disabled. ... 0 4 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/cron-apt && /usr/sbin/cron-apt ... If I remember correctly, after installing cron-apt the file cron.d/cron-apt was disabled by adding .something. Instead a link can be found under cron.daily. I removed the .something from cron.d/cron-apt. So in principle cron-apt shoul now be run by two independent mechanism (cron.d and cron.daily). > Also can you send me the contents of > > ls -l /usr/sbin/anacron jba@lina:/etc/cron.d$ ls -l /usr/sbin/anacron -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 34064 Dez 28 2014 /usr/sbin/anacron > > If you execute /etc/cron.daily/cron-apt is it executed then?

There is nothing in messages and kern.log. But a lot in syslog.
