collectinfo.pl frequently says it's "Already running"

Today I started getting periodic emails from collectinfo.pl saying that it is already running. There’s an issue in the tracker, but it’s marked closed with no comments:
https://www.virtualmin.com/node/2876

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chris

There are comments in there – the move to the new forum/bug tracker caused some issues with permissions :slight_smile:

That particular problem turned out to be an issue with yum/up2date contacting the repository.

What distro and version are you using?

And can you attach the output of this command: pstree -l -p

Thanks,

I’m on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Looks like it’s the same problem – apt is timing out. Probably related to the 9.10 Beta release. Thanks!
