Ah. This is why you are getting two jobs. /etc/crontab should not have those two lines.
There should be an /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron that calls anacron. The anacron job calls
cron.daily and cron.weekly from /etc/anacrontab.
That’s why you have two jobs running. They’re both running through cron.daily and
cron.weekly twice.
I suspect either you added those lines at some point or the system had it at some time in
the distant path and you’ve been upgrading for so long it got dragged along with it.
Just remove those lines from /etc/crontab and you’ll be good to go.
