[Gllug] Still having cron problems

I have installed anacron and as a result, from this crontab:

# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file.
# This file also has a username field, that none of the other crontabs
do.

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

# m h dom mon dow user  command
17 * * * * root run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts
--report /etc/cron.daily
47 6    * * 7   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts
--report /etc/cron.weekly
52 6 1 * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts
--report /etc/cron.monthly
#

cron.daily and (I assume) cron.weekly and cron.monthly are running, but
not cron.hourly (they weren't before)

The daemon is there:

transpero:~# ps aux | grep cron
root      2347  0.0  0.1  11436  1064 ?        Ss   Jun21
0:00 /usr/sbin/cron
root      8170  0.0  0.0   2964   644 pts/0    R+   19:31   0:00 grep
cron

Any ideas?
