And indeed, in the logs

Aug 30 10:21:32 planet1002 rawdog[4748]: An error occurred while reading state from /etc/rawdog/en/feeds/39a7970f.state.
Aug 30 10:21:32 planet1002 rawdog[4748]: This usually means the file is corrupt, and removing it will fix the problem.

@Dzahn perhaps do you know what to do ? or know who might know? thank you!

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2021-09-01T13:05:25Z] <mutante> planet1002 - temp removing feed from ad.huikeshoven - seems to cause corrupt state file (T289984)

Change 720018 merged by Dzahn:

[operations/puppet@production] planet: remove ad.huikeshoven feed

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/720018

I removed the offending feed but the issue was still here.

Then I deleted ALL the existing state files for the "en" feed collection and ran updates again multiple times.

The issue was gone.

Finally reverted removing the feed above and the issue is still gone. So apparently it was unrelated but one other state file got corrupted.

Running the update finishes fine now, the status of the systemd service is ok and there are no more "--state=failed" units.
