Cron jobs are installed into /etc/cron.*/ meaning that they are treated as conffiles. Did you "remove" or "purge the packages with the appropriate apt tools? If you have just "removed" them, this is expected behavior on Debian & Ubuntu.
If you purged the packages but the cron jobs remained, this is a bug. ** Changed in: mythtv (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Doesn't remove cron jobs on removal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/669440 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
