Missing cron.d in sysstat rpm install

This note is for RHEL/OEL or other similar distributions.

When rpm install for sysstat package complains of missing /etc/cron.d, while cron.d suggest missing cron package, the actual missing package is vixie-cron.

rpm -Ivh sysstat*.rpm
- dependency fails due to missing /etc/cron.d

rpm -qa|grep cron
- following should be installed, otherwise install these first:
  • crontabs-...
  • vixie-cron-...
  • anacron-...
