Excuse me barging in but I hit that issue on boot up with at least 2
hipster hosts.. one hardware 1 vm

Both are thoroughly up to date last week and updated today to make
sure.

I haven't payed much attention to it since the service is something I
don't currently have need of.  I just assumed it would go away sooner
or later.
