I've discovered that cron.daily isn't being run (the locate database is 8 days

updated since 15 August 2003, and so on). The command for daily in

Have a look in /etc/init.d/anacron:
case "$1" in

I just find out that there is a package called anacron which does
similar things to cron. I wonder why they are no conflict to each other. What
