Once every few days, my vixie-cron mails root to complain

Quote:
Cron <root@ultra1> test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons
find: /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly: No such file or directory


When I check (not the instant the warning was sent) this file
does exist.

I have nothing in /etc/cron.hourly

I'd think the error is referring to this entry in the system crontab:
Code:

*/10  *  * * *  root    test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons


And it probably has to do with this line at the end of /usr/sbin/run-crons:
Code:

find ${LOCKDIR} -newer ${LOCKDIR} -exec /bin/rm -f {} \;

I'm running vixie-cron-4.1-r4 and cronbase-0.3.1

Does anyone have a suggestion what is wrong? Does this need a bugreport?

I'm having this exact same issue on x86 architecture!

Anyone shed some light on this intriguing problem?

Cheers,
Martin.

I have this on 2 x86 machines too. It's rare for it to occour, and happens on one more then the other.
