Thank you for testing. I reproduced this with 2.3-47 to 2.3-48 and 2.3-43 to 2.3-48. If no jobs need to be run or have already run, the upgrade will not hang.
So, cron.daily & cron.weekly jobs are normally run at around 7:30 (every day for cron.daily, every week for cron.weekly). But on this machine, when I upgraded, it did not wait for 7:30. Or is this forced when the deadline is close enough, e.g. a few hours before cron.weekly jobs should be run?
During an upgrade, anacron will run any jobs waiting to be run for that day. anacron does not check to make sure jobs are run in the timer window but anacron checks if the day is correct for running a job.
I think the issue could be "Type=oneshot" added to the service file in the latest release so I plan to upload a new version to experimental without this change for testing.
