Issue/Introduction

Running /usr/share/cb/cbupgrade to complete upgrade requires reconciling file changes for cb.cron.template: 

The installer has detected local changes in the following configuration
files:

/etc/cb/cron/cb.cron.template
A diff of cb.cron.template and cb.cron.template.rpmnew shows different lines in the old file

Environment

Cause

Custom configuration was added to cb.cron.template in a previous version.

2. Make desired changes in cb.cron.template.rpmnew
3. Swap the cb.cron.template and cb.cron.template.rpmnew files

   mv cb.cron.template cb.cron.template.bk
   mv cb.cron.template.rpmnew cb.cron.template
