/etc/crontab disappeared

a few weeks ago I replaced dcron by fcron because i started to switch off my computer from time to time.

and a few days later I realised that /etc/crontab had disappeared or maybe it has never been there, can't remember really .... but my system's cronjobs don't seem to run anyway !?!?!?!? how can i reinstall this file? i can't find it in any package ?

thanks in advance.

I pinched <a href="http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/base/dcron/root.crontab?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain">the  /etc/crontab from dcron</a> and it worked fine.

Thanks
