Checkmk registers a cronjob to regularly test the configuration for deprecations and notifies the responsible users.

This job has the side-effect of clearing user messages which are not valid anymore (their configured expiration date has passed).

This message cleanup caused the cronjob to crash, reporting a crash report.

In this Werk we fix the underlying cause for the crash allowing the cronjob to continue.
