The upgrade to systemd-234 moved systemctl from /usr/bin to /bin. systemd-crontab-generator and cron-update.service call systemctl as /usr/bin/systemctl. emerge --info systemd-cron Portage 2.3.6

it also installs 'systemd-crontab-generator' in '/usr/lib/systemd/system-generator/' instead of '/lib/systemd/system-generator/'
This is reasonably easy to fix, it just requires inserting "--bindir ${EPREFIX}/bin \" into the src_configure phase. The hard part is figuring out whether the user is using >=systemd-234 or <systemd-234 as to whether to pass that flag...
I think a couple changes need to happen upstream: 1. Remove the absolute path references to systemctl and let the shell (/bin/sh) find it in PATH. 2. Add independent configure options for the system unit dir and the system generator directories, instead of coupling them to libdir.
Upstream bug: https://github.com/systemd-cron/systemd-cron/issues/54
As upstream bug looks to be stalled maybe we could, for now, simply make a new revision hard depending on >=234 and remember to stabilize that version when newer systemd is stabilized

No harder to patch in than changing the location in the first place.
It's ok if it is easy to do, I was wondering because this is the only one left with this breakage :/, but I don't care about what solution is chosen finally :)
