Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: debianutils
Every day jobs started by anacron work only some (two or three) days
after reboot and no more. Then daily anacron process stays working
because 'run-part --report /etc/cron.daily' doesn't exit. I see it
starts logrotate but after some days run-parts stops wait() it's child
exit and I'll have zombie logrotate and still "running" anacron daily.
Some outputs:
% pstree -p
init(1)──anacron(9929)───run-parts(10167)───logrotate(10242)
% ps axwu|egrep '(anacron|run-parts|logrotate)'
