Bug#992649: run-parts in /usr/bin breaks systemd-cron

Either a compat link (or a script with a deprecation warning) should be provided by debianutils as /bin/run-parts or systemd-cron should be modified to use /usr/bin/run-parts. What's preventing such a fix ? Note that locate is also impacted by this bug : $ locate foobarbaz locate: warning: database ‘/var/cache/locate/locatedb’ is more than 8 jours old (actual age is 135,0 jours) All the best Dod
Bug#992649: run-parts in /usr/bin breaks systemd-cron
Hi, I found this bug by luck. I miss the context (why ? UsrMerge ?) I can build systemd-cron like this during the transition: ./configure --runparts="/usr/bin/env run-parts" Greetings, Alexandre Detiste

It looks like systemd-cron is hard-coding the path to run-parts in two places: * cron-boot.service * cron-schedule.service If this gets fixed, debianutils can add a Breaks for the appropriate version of systemd-cron.
