See /etc/crontab -- cron does not run these when /usr/sbin/anacron is installed:

# m h dom mon dow user  command
17 *    * * *   root    cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
25 6    * * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
47 6    * * 7   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly )
52 6    1 * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )

  Update-notifier-common works wenn called from the terminal. The system
  proxy is correctly set in /etc/environment and /etc/apt/apt.conf. The
  problem is fixed by adding the following 2 lines at the start of
  /etc/cron.daily/update-notifier-common:

  . /etc/environment
  export http_proxy
