Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

please remove fcron from unstable since it's severely broken[1] and the
maintainer agrees that it should be removed[2]. This shouldn't cause any
problems since all reverse dependencies[3] are of the form cron||fcron.
Finally, cron+anacron can be used as a viable replacement for fcron.

Best regards

Alexander Kurtz
