This seems to confirm my hypothesis that too many people are reporting at the exact same time. I tried to look at the server traffic data, but there is not enough granularity to detect the issue. Could you try to run (as root) sh -x /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest (you might need to adjust the DAY number in /etc/popularity-contest.conf) to see if it works ? In that case, you can try to add in /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest sleep 500 just before # keep old logs to see whether the extra delay fix the issue. Thanks in advance for your help tracking this!
