The timing of this (old) bug's appearance is very suggestive of a problem related to the eglibc 2.15 upgrade. cron is one of the services that's required to be restarted for eglibc upgrades due to use of NSS, and this should already have been done automatically. I had a look at the term log, and see this output: <snip> Checking for services that may need to be restarted... Checking init scripts... WARNING: init script for samba not found. Restarting services possibly affected by the upgrade: vsftpd: restarting...done. spamassassin: restarting...done. ssh: restarting...done. snmpd: restarting...done. slapd: restarting...done. saslauthd: restarting...done. rsync: restarting...done. mysql: restarting...done. dovecot: restarting...done. exim4: restarting...done. cups: restarting...done. cron: restarting...done. atd: restarting...done. autofs: restarting...done. apache2: restarting...done. Services restarted successfully. <snip> So cron should have already been restarted as part of the upgrade, but there's an arbitrary window between libc6 unpacking and crond being restarted. Either we should stop cron from the libc6 preinst (since we know it's not going to run right), or we should somehow suppress these crash reports during the upgrade. Is there a good way to suppress this particular crash report? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
