Yes you are right. The problem is dcron. This cron daemon doesn't behave like the old normal crond. What is really annoying. :-/ I created a bug report for dcron and attached a patch for his miss behaviour.
By the way dcron is the reason why back in time switched from @hourly to 0 * * * *. The later version kills the anacron like features of some cron daemons for example dcron 4.4. -- UnboundLocalError: local variable 'first_error' referenced before assignment https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/520956 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Back In Time Team, which is subscribed to Back In Time.
