Just disabling cron in rc.d is not enough. There's also anacron which will get invoked during startup, and since apt-compat has a delay of up to 30min it can be picked up by the leak detector if the test finishes fast enough:
LEAKED [process 14563 sleep] process: root 14563 14556 0 07:49 ? 00:00:00 sleep 1163 LEAKED [process 14550 /bin/sh] process: root 14550 2264 0 07:49 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh -c run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily LEAKED [process 14551 run-parts] process: root 14551 14550 0 07:49 ? 00:00:00 run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily LEAKED [process 14556 /bin/sh] process: root 14556 14551 0 07:49 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/cron.daily/apt-compat From: http://logs.test-lab.xenproject.org/osstest/logs/169015 To prevent this disable anacron like it's done for cron.
