Description Colin Walters 2016-07-13 01:28:32 UTC
On a modern systemd system there's no reason to have cron by default; the timer functionality obsoletes it.  But: 

# rpm -q --whatrequires /usr/bin/run-parts
cloud-init-0.7.6-8.20150813bzr1137.fc24.noarch

Comment 1 Lars Kellogg-Stedman 2016-07-13 13:36:14 UTC
It doesn't appear that cloud-init even uses run-parts (anymore?):

  $ dnf download --source cloud-init
  $ rpmbuild --nodeps -rp cloud-init-0.7.6-5.20140218bzr1060.fc23.src.rpm
  $ cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/cloud-init-0.7.6-bzr1060/
  $ grep -lri run-parts
  doc/var-lib-cloud.txt

This functionality seems to have been replaced by cloudinit.utils.runparts.
