I'm not sure if this is a bug yet so I didn't mark it as so.
Unless I am doing something wrong, I think crond isn't running scripts in /etc/crond.weekly/

I compared to debian and fedora cronie packages.

Debian has /etc/cron.d/dailyjobs
# Run the daily, weekly, and monthly jobs if cronie-anacron is not installed
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root

# run-parts
02 4 * * * root [ ! -f /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron ] && run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root [ ! -f /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron ] && run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root [ ! -f /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron ] && run-parts /etc/cron.monthly


and Fedora has /etc/crontab
# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# See crontab(5)

# Set PATH to system default
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

# m h dom mon dow user command
17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
47 6 * * 7 root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly )
52 6 1 * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )

Arch doesn't have something of the sort and is possibly not running scripts from /etc/cron.weekly
I could be missing something of course.
Thank you.
This task depends upon

You haven't provided enough info, so I suggest opening a thread on the forum and checking the wiki first e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cron#run-parts_issue
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cron#Activation_and_autostart
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cron#cronie_2

Thank you. I already checked the wiki.
As I may still be missing something, I will post in forums.
Thank you again.
