Comment 2 for bug 696953

This bug was fixed in the package cron - 3.0pl1-116ubuntu1

---------------
cron (3.0pl1-116ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable (LP: #696953), remaining changes:
    - debian/control:
      + Requires debhelper >= 7.3.15ubuntu2 (for Upstart).
      + Move MTA,lockfile-progs to Suggests field.
    - debian/cron.upstart: Add Upstart script.
    - debian/{prerm,postinst,postrm}:
      + Don't call update-rc.d,invoke-rc.d and
        /etc/init.d/cron.
    - debian/rules: Call dh_installinit to install Upstart job properly.

cron (3.0pl1-116) unstable; urgency=high

  * Upload with approval from Release Team to get RC bug fixes in Squeeze
    (see http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2010/12/msg00719.html)
  * do_command.c, popen.c:
    - Use fork() instead of vfork().
  * do_command.c:
    - Close an unused stream in the fork()ed child prior to exec'ing the
      user's command, thereby avoiding an fd leak. Closes: #604181, LP: #665912
      Previously to this, in conjunction with LVM, the fd leak may have the
      effect of the user being spammed by warnings every time a cron job was
      executed.
  * crontab.5:
    - Fixed the example demonstrating how to run a job on a certain weekday of
      the month (date range was off-by-one). Also, the same example contained
      a superfluous escape, resulting in wrong output. Closes: #606325
  * cron.init:
    - Added $named to Should-Start, in case @reboot jobs need DNS resolution.
      Closes: #602903
    - Added nslcd to Should-Start. LP: #27520
