Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cron
The /etc/crontab file shows the below line:
-----
25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts
--report /etc/cron.daily )
-----
This means that the daily cron task will not be executed if anacron is
installed.
However you can have anacron installed and power your computer off only
1 time a week.
I think the assumption that the computer is stopped each day when
anacron is installed is dangerous for the system stabilty.
