Related to T135861: PHP 5.5 sessionclean cron job hanging on tool labs bastions. I've seen this error pop up before in MediaWiki-Vagrant VMs. I think it happens when a new PHP5 package has been installed and Puppet has not yet replaced the package provided /usr/lib/php5/sessionclean script with the version that we provide via ::toollabs::exec_environ.

Is the timestamp on the cronspam email near this dpkg.log entry?

2018-02-13 06:32:43 upgrade php5:all 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.22 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.23

If this is going to happen only in certain circumstances when package upgrades are happening, then it should produce no harm and we can resolve this task.
