Title:
  Ubuntu debianutils moved run-parts into /usr/bin, breaking systemd-
  cron in the course

Status in debianutils package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in systemd-cron package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  package debianutils keeps run-parts executable in /usr/bin/
  while package systemd-cron tries to find it in /bin/

  $ which run-parts
  /usr/bin/run-parts

  $ dpkg -S `which run-parts`
  debianutils: /usr/bin/run-parts

  $ grep =/bin/run /lib/systemd/system/cron*
  /lib/systemd/system/cron-daily.service:ExecStart=/bin/run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily
  /lib/systemd/system/cron-hourly.service:ExecStart=/bin/run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
  /lib/systemd/system/cron-monthly.service:ExecStart=/bin/run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly
  /lib/systemd/system/cron-weekly.service:ExecStart=/bin/run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly

  Because of that, cron-daily.serice gets info "failed" state soon after
  system reboot.

  Please resolve the problem to make systemd-cron more usable. 
  Thanks in advance for your help.
