Package: cyrus-common
Version: 3.12.3-1~bpo13+1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
cyrus-common installs /etc/cron.daily/cyrus-imapd (via dh_installcron
--name=cyrus-imapd, from debian/cyrus-common.cyrus-imapd.cron.daily) but
debian/control declares no dependency on anything that provides cron.
On a system without a cron implementation the script is installed but never
executed, so the daily chk_cyrus consistency check silently does not run.
Suggested fix, in cyrus-common:
Recommends: cron | cron-daemon
Recommends, rather than Depends, seems right: the package remains functional
without cron, it just loses a periodic check.
Suggested fix:
This change is tested against 3.12.3-2:
