Cronie update breaks anacron
The latest update to cronie (sys-process/cronie-1.7.0) seems to have
broken anacron functionality. The file /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron tries
to source the file /etc/default/anacron, which does not exist.

The full error message looks like this:
/etc/cron.hourly/0anacron: line 11: /etc/default/anacron: No such file or directory
run-parts: /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron exited with return code 1

Of course I could just create an empty file, and it would work again,
but I am wondering if there is something broken in the default setup,
which was forgotten to bundle in the cronie install package?

Anybody else experiencing this? Did I miss something?
