That one is updated via /etc/cron.daily/rpm, which belongs to the rpm package. So if you do have rpm installed, you should have a) the cron job and b) the log file.
I see...
Well, rpm is on the system. /etc/cron.daily/rpm exists but no /var/log/rpmpkgs
Does the system have to be one at some time during the night to run the daily crons?
Yes. See /etc/crontab
Which is why many of us install anacron from day 1. It checks to see whether the housekeeping has been done at the required time, and if it hasn't it does it.
More now understood.
Thanks Anne.
