That's something the Workstation > folks may want to work with them to fix in a more systemd-ish way. Chrome doesn't require atd explicitly (nor is it pulled in by any of its dependencies). It does use it in %post to sneak in a cron job to to add a repo config file and its GPG key trust behind your back: service atd start echo "sh /etc/cron.daily/google-chrome" | at now + 2 minute > /dev/null 2>&1 So, actually not having atd installed won't break Chrome as it will just ignore the 'at' command execution error due to 'exit 0' a few lines below it.
