[Bug 897507] Re: kubuntu-desktop should not depend on anacron

[Mirto Silvio Busico]

Installed 12.04 server - added kubuntu-desktop as GUI

Need to scedule backups at specified hours

Not able to uninstall anacron

Disabling anacron (sudo update-rc.d anacron remove) doesn't work because in /etc/crontab is tested the existence of the anacron executable:
25 1    * * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )

I need to uninstall anacron but to retain kubuntu-desktop.
