[Bug 2006589] Re: Anacron service and timer disabled after upgrading from 2.3-33

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

I think this looks pretty good. Only one quibble (apart from the
indentation) is that you have a message

                        echo "Warning: found a backup for ${name} but
original file still exist; please check its status and configuration;
backup is available at \`${backup}'"

but it looks to me as if the backup file will be deleted shortly after
this. I don't know how much it is worth complicating things to handle
this edge case on an edge case but this contradiction should be resolved
somehow I think (maybe just don't do anything silently if the original
file is still there?)

Title:
  Anacron service and timer disabled after upgrading from 2.3-33

Status in anacron package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  As hinted by https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-
  announce/2022/11/msg00001.html , anacron 2.3-33's packaging has a bug
  which disables both the timer and service when its postrm script is
  invoked and that includes upgrades from this package.

  We need to work-around this issue since it is the version in kinetic.
