Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.41
Severity: normal
I've been getting errors for a long time during weekly popcon runs on one
of my boxes.
>From /var/log/messages:
Aug 26 06:47:48 elrond popularity-contest: unable to submit report to
http://popcon.debian.org/cgi-bin/popcon.cgi.
Aug 19 06:47:50 elrond popularity-contest: unable to submit report to

The fallback to mail works correctly, but it should not need to fall back to
that. I have no idea why it fails, especially since it works correctly when
I run the same script manually as root.
Could it be that the server is just getting DoSed because too many reports
are being submitted at the same time (as they are all cronned at the same time,
at least in my TZ)? Or is there something subtle that fails because it is being
run from cron?
Output from a cron run with set -x in the cron script and a -d added in the
call to popcon-upload is shown below.
