http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1159306 Bug ID: 1159306 Summary: Several packages need cron but RPM doesn't require it Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.0 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: archie.cobbs@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- It used to be that cron(8) was always installed. Now it's optional. But some packages still assume cron is always installed, and therefore they need to have their RPM's updated to add a "Requires: cron" line. Examples: $ rpm -qf /etc/cron.daily/{mdadm,packagekit-background.cron} /etc/sysstat/sysstat.cron mdadm-4.0-lp150.8.6.1.x86_64 PackageKit-1.1.10-lp150.11.1.x86_64 sysstat-12.0.2-lp150.16.1.x86_64 $ rpm -qR mdadm PackageKit sysstat | grep cron | wc -l 0 So "Requires: cron" needs to be added to at least mdadm, PackageKit, and sysstat. I'm sure there are others... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
