/etc/cron.daily/aptitude-robot fails, if aptitude-robot updates the file via one of the triggers, e.g via config management

Example:

/etc/cron.daily/aptitude-robot:
/etc/cron.daily/aptitude-robot: 28: /etc/cron.daily/aptitude-robot: ic/update-stamp: not found
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/aptitude-robot exited with return code 127

Idea: dash vs bash might make a difference here

Potential, but very ugly solution: Make that script (or rather all code except the shebang line) a one-liner. 😐 Should be short enough for that.

Then again, that would be in the responsibility of the administrator shipping that file via config management, not the package's responsibility. Leaving this as a note for those who run into it and marking it as "wont fix".
