See: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=349150 Yep. To get this forward I should now really have bcron-run provide cron-service? Checking the current list of virtual packages, it rather suggests cron-daemon, and actually I'd mostly prefer my suggestion, to have logrotate simply drop the version restriction from Depends: cron. $ w3m -dump http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/virtual-package-names-list.txt |grep cron 25 Jun 2004 Added cron-daemon $ Regards, Gerrit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'm really not sure the requirements need be much more formal than whatever logrotate needs which (I believe) is merely /etc/cron.daily/. It is important for logrotate to be installable with bcron because lots of services install stuff into /etc/logrotate.d/ because they haven't been converted over to svlogd yet. Ultimately, it won't matter because logrotate will be obsoleted by svlogd. In the short term, however, interoperability is crucial to ease the gradual runit svlogd migration. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

When introducing the bcron/bcron-run packages I made the bcron-run package Provides: cron Replaces: cron Conflicts: cron for that reason, and filed http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=304038 I didn't know about a virtual package 'cron-service' until now.
