Bug#1054142: cron-daemon-common: Cron now depends on systemd.
Hello again, Jerry, Jerry Kaisler a écrit : >* What led up to the situation? cron should NOT depend on systemd. >* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or > ineffective)? tried to install a base system without systemd. >* What was the outcome of this action?

Your four lines of information give exactly the same information than your bug report's title. Please can you elaborate further? I tried to undestand why there was a dependency on systemd. cron depends on package init-system-helpers; when I run `apt-cache showpkg init-system-helpers`, I can see that an old version of init-system-helpers (version 1.56+nmu1) is depending on systemd. Other versions do no depend on it. Did you try to install a base system based on buster? This one is currently old-old-stable. Please give a try with bullseye or bookworm. As the dependency on systemd does not exist in distributions oldstable and stable, I shall close this bug report shortly. Best regards, Georges. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Control: tags 1054142 + moreinfo Dear Jerry, please can you elaborate a little more about bug #1054142? So far the only useful information is the title of the bug report. Please can you check whether the file /etc/init.d/cron does exist in your computer? It should contain the line 8<--- # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 8<--- So, if your system is ruled by SYSV Init, I suppose that the file /etc/init.d/cron is symlinked to the directories /etc/rc2.d, /etc/rc3.d, /etc/rc3.d and /etc/rc5.d; do you find those symlinks? Thank you for that additional information about your system. Best regards, Georges.
