What does "included" mean?  If the cron jobs are recorded in the log, 
then they were triggered.  If they are recorded and not doing something 
that you expect, please describe what you expected to happen that did not.

It's possible that something was broken with anacron?  It's hard to 
diagnose further after you removed the package.  Reinstalling it would 
probably fix whatever was broken.  If you put that package back and 
removed cronie-noanacron, and if the problem came back, you could 
troubleshoot further, but I wouldn't expect that to happen.

Probably misconfiguration.
