Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: anacron
Traditionally is cron @daily equivalent to @midnight
If anacron is installed the cron.daily (also weekly and monthly) fragments are
executed by anacron instead of cron.
If the machine is not rebooted, the invocation of anacron will be done via
/etc/cron.d/anacron.
Here the invocation time is 07:30.
<code>30 7 * * * root test -x /etc/init.d/anacron &&
/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d anacron start >/dev/null</code>
As one result logrotate is not run shortly after midnight.
The problem can easily fixed to change the code above to @midnight.
In addition /etc/anacrontab should not add a delay of 5 minutes to the
cron.daily job.
