Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.61
Severity: important
popularity-contest explictly Recommends cron | fcron and Suggests anacron.
It should instead:
Recommends: cron | cron-daemon
Suggests: anacron | systemd-cron
cron-daemon is the generic package name for any cron implementation. Meanwhile, systemd-cron is an alternative package that provides anachronic cron support.
Making this change would allow the administrator to install the cron implementation of their choice, instead of enforcing 'cron' package installation.
