[mythtv-users] anacron time change after upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04

On my backend I have 2 cron jobs I put into /etc/cron.daily for database 
backup and optimization. The scripts email when done with the date and time.

On Ubuntu 16.04 it ran around 7:35 am. After the 'do-release-upgrade' it 
runs at 12:10 am.

I always wondered why 7:35am with a /etc/crontab entry like the one 
below, but I really can't figure out 12:10 am based on it.

Any ideas?

25 6    * * *    root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && 
run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
