Replace (vixie) cron with cronie
Registered by
Kees Cook
Upstream (vixie) cron is no longer active. The replacement is "cronie", and Ubuntu should move to this so it can stop being so out of date. Note that "cron"'s upstream version number hasn't changed since Dapper, and the Debian version is into triple digits. There are languishing bugs and security issues with the old vixie cron.
