Bug#838087: libconfig-crontab-perl: missing dependency/recommendation on cron

[Niko Tyni]

Package: libconfig-crontab-perl
Version: 1.41-1
Severity: normal

While this module can conceivably be useful without cron installed, its
normal use is to manipulate active crontab entries. The read() and write()
methods call the crontab(1) command from the cron package by default. It
therefore looks like the package should at least Recommend cron.

At least the write() method doesn't fail too gracefully if crontab(1)
isn't available:

 $ perl -MConfig::Crontab -e 'Config::Crontab->new->write'
 Use of uninitialized value $crontab in scalar chomp at /usr/share/perl5/Config/Crontab.pm line 307.
