Debian fixed this by deciding the cronjob wasn't such a good idea after all and simply removing it. The fixed version of the package is in zesty and above, while xenial still has a bad version. _Release Information:_ $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Release: 16.04 _Package Information:_ $ apt-cache policy ieee-data ieee-data: Installed: 20150531.1 Candidate: 20150531.1 Version table: *** 20150531.1 500 500 http://ubuntumirror.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages 500 http://ubuntumirror.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/ubuntu xenial/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status _What you expected to happen:_ Nothing _What happened instead:_ I got this e-mail from cron: Subject: Cron <root@host> test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly ) Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2017 06:55:47 +0200 (CEST) From: Cron Daemon <root@host> To: root@host run-parts: /etc/cron.monthly/ieee-data exited with return code 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ieee-data/+bug/1714602/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~group.of.nepali.translators Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~group.of.nepali.translators More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
