Description Oliver Schwabedissen 2023-12-24 08:08:03 UTC 
Hello,

the new cronie-anacron-1.7.0 (part of snapshot 20231222) installs a modified /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron.

Upon execution cron aborts because 0anacron now tries to execute /etc/default/anacron which doesn't exist:

[...]
# Check whether run on battery should be allowed
. /etc/default/anacron

if [ "$ANACRON_RUN_ON_BATTERY_POWER" != "yes" ]; then

    # Do not run jobs when on battery power
[...]

Error message:
/etc/cron.hourly/0anacron: Zeile 11: /etc/default/anacron: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
run-parts: /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron exited with return code 1

Reassigning to the cronie maintainer

Come on guys, it's almost 3 weeks after the report - why is there no update available? Do you really want to drive cron users to use systemd timers?
The solution is *so* easy: touch /etc/default/anacron
then release a new package!
