this is not really a bug ...

it is just verbose output that causes an e-mail to be sent.

After 24 hours (the last time the script was run) the metadata is 
considered stale and too old to be used, so it is regenerated.  By 
default, the program prints to standard out when it updates it's cache. 
So, you are getting that info in an e-mail as output of cron.

I do not see how this issue is at all related to RH bug 429689 ???
