I checked my /boot partition and found that it only had 15MB left.
Cleaning out some old images also fixed the problem for me.

2009-07-11 Thread Stephen Sentoff

Yes, I was using the lockfile from the procmail package.

But I agree flock should work just as well.  I saw both were available
and arbitrarily picked lockfile for my testing.

Thanks for your work.

 Bug description:
 Binary package hint: update-motd
 
 Description:  Ubuntu 9.04
 Release:  9.04
 update-motd:
   Installed: 1.11.1
 
 When update-motd is executed out of /etc/cron.d, the instances are all set to 
 run at the same minute (if they run at all).  This means that up to five 
 instances of update-motd can be started simultaneously.  This causes two 
 problems--
 
 1. The method used to lock out simultaneous executions is not very robust.  
 The $NEW file, which is used as a synchronization lock, is tested early in 
 the script, but not created until later.  This leaves a window open for 
 multiple scripts to get started, and then collide with each other, ultimately 
 messing up the resulting message of the day.  At least on my machine, this 
 error happens about half the time on each hour.  The code to nice the 
 process seems to be the part that opens the window the widest.  Using 
 lockfile to create a semaphore for synchronization corrects this flaw.  I've 
 created a modified version of update-motd and included it as an attachment.
 
 2. By design, only one instance of update-motd can run at a time, and others 
 just exit.  However, this means that some of the work scheduled for the same 
 minute doesn't get done (assuming the synchronization works correctly).  But 
 this isn't really what you want--if both the 10-minute and the hourly script 
 are scheduled on the hour, you want both to execute serially.  I can see two 
 possible solutions to this:
 a) Alter the lockfile code in the attachment to allow retries.  Changing -r0 
 to -r5 in the attached code would allow all the instances that could possibly 
 be scheduled to take their turns to run.  The downside of this solution is 
 that if update-motd is run manually, it could take up to 40 seconds to fail, 
 when the lock is in place.  Even the 8 second delay for a single retry is 
 likely to be confusing to the user.
 b) Alter the update-motd crontab entry in /etc/cron.d so that the instances 
 of update-motd don't coincide.  For example, one job on the 10-minute 
 boundaries, one 1 minute after the hour, one 2 minutes after midnight each 
 day, one 3 minutes after midnight each week, one 4 minutes after midnight 
 each month.  This change would also reduce the likelihood of multiple running 
 instances to the point that the current method of synchronization with the 
 $NEW file would rarely cause a problem.
