[Aptitude-devel] Bug#1034044: aptitude: please enable backup of pkgstates via a systemd timer

[Sven Joachim]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.13-5
Severity: wishlist

There is a cron.daily script which creates backups of the
/var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates file.  It would be nice to have a systemd
service file and a timer for that job as well.  On my laptop, aptitude
is the only package that ships a cron job for which there is no systemd
timer alternative and would lose functionality if I were to remove cron
and anacron.
