Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-schedule

Gnome Schedule does _not_ support anacron, but either vixiecron or dcron, this is not reflected in the package dependencies.

Also please update your man page (supplied by Ubuntu) which states that Gnome Schedule supports anacron.

This has been a long standing feature request, but is not implemented.

Gnome Schedule is very old in Ubuntu and Debian, latest upstream version is 2.2.0, see

Maybe latest Gnome Schedule release supports anacron?
