For a while in my Feisty testing machine my logs were getting filled up with messages similar to the following:

This was happening just about every 30 seconds. I did a little research on it by searching Google and nothing really struck me as an answer. Yesterday there were a bunch of packages that got updated and I’m no longer getting these messages in my logs. Good job developers!
