Hello,
there was changes in spec file which specifies dependencies. For solution I need
to know your: rpm -q vixie-cron crontabs vim-enhanced bash

You don't really need vim, but if you can't edit crontab you haven't some text
editor or you haven't setup editor as common. I'm using vim and everything looks ok.

Comment 2 Guido Ledermann 2007-02-20 15:14:55 UTC

Hello,

#rpm -q vixie-cron crontabs vim-enhanced bash

The packet vixie-cron is not installed
crontabs-1.10-12.fc7
vim-enhanced-7.0.192-1.fc7
bash-3.2-9.fc7

And that was the problem. after installing vixie-cron I have the crontab program
again. Why hasn't that been automatically installed like it has been in former
versions von Fedora Core?

Comment 3 Marcela Mašláňová 2007-02-21 12:37:23 UTC

It wasn't never dependent. Crontab is part of vixie-cron and package crontabs
include only some scripts like run-parts. When I installed FC it was
automatically installed - vixie-cron, anacron, crontabs. Problem is only if you
do it manually and you don't know about it.

Comment 4 Guido Ledermann 2007-02-21 22:26:09 UTC

I just reinstalled F7Test1 from scartch, using standard installation (means I
didn't check or uncheck anything) and vixie-cron is not installed by default.

yum list vixie-cron
gives
vixie-cron 4:4.1-74.fc7  development

I'm sure it is installed by default by FC5/FC6.

Comment 5 Marcela Mašláňová 2007-02-22 08:02:13 UTC

I'm sorry, thanks for report. I'll investigate what's broke it.

Comment 6 Bill Nottingham 2007-03-02 17:46:17 UTC

Moving to 'devel' as discussed on
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-March/msg00095.html.

Comment 7 Tony Molloy 2007-03-09 12:29:21 UTC

If you do a full install of 6.91 you do not get cron or anacron. You get
crontabs OK crontabs-1.10-12.fc7.noarch.rpm.

I presume it was just left out of the spin by mistake

Comment 8 Guido Ledermann 2007-03-31 15:31:54 UTC

This is fixed in 6.9.2
