Bug Description
cron is a dependency of ubuntu-standard.
The /etc/crontab file show that cron is running the daily, weekly and monthly cron task between 6 and 7 o clock.
My computer will never run at this time and thus none of those cron daily/weekly/
I think anacron should be installed by default (in addition of cron) in order to guarantee that the system tasks are performed.
Does it means that the /etc/cron.daily/apt script will never run and thus that the system will never be updated ?

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
