Bug#771830: Fails to execute at all

[Juhapekka Tolvanen]

Package: systemd-cron
Version: 1.3.1+ds1-2
Severity: grave


Here are relevant lines from output of dmesg-command:

 [   21.059257] EXT4-fs (sdb1): mounted filesystem with ordered data
 mode. Opts: (null)
  [   21.520730] systemd[1]: /usr appears to be on its own filesytem
 and is not already mounted. This is not a supported setup. Some
 things will probably break (sometimes even
   silently) in mysterious ways. Consult
 http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-is-broken
 for more information.

 file or directory
 *[   21.578059] systemd[122]:

Maybe problem is this:

/usr is not mounted when it tries to run that command. That command is
actually python script. Its shebang line is this:

#!/usr/bin/python

Is it really so necessary to run that
/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-crontab-generator when /usr is
not mounted yet?

How about running that command by hand after boot?:

[1]    6094 exit 1
/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-crontab-generator /etc/crontab

Is that command really so stupid, that it only accepts folders and not
files? If so, why /etc/crontab is menationed in FILES-section of man
page of systemd-crontab-generator ?
