apticron is not executed in natty for systems not always turned on

[e-frog]

Binary package hint: apticron

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04

$ apt-cache policy apticron
apticron:
  Installed: 1.1.45
  Candidate: 1.1.45
  Version table:

For systems not always turned on apticron is never executed as the file /etc/cron.daily/apticron which was there in Maverick no longer exists.

The oneiric package (1.1.49) seems to fix this already.

I found the debian bug report which introduced and later on fix this issue:
