This error is appearing on some repositories every few days.

When reporting problems, please consider including:

  1. What you are trying to achieve
  2. What you have tried (probably a link to the configuration)
  3. What happened instead (often, pointing to a build log URL, in the form of https://travis-ci.com/OWNER/REPO/build/NNNNNNN would be helpful).

I saw the error about 4 times today. Too frequent.

I’d forgotten to write that the error appears only on OSX.

@BanzaiMan @falsandtru I have the same observation. The issue occurs intermittently but almost at least once in every build (sometimes even twice) in a build matrix. For example, see the job at https://travis-ci.com/github/amCap1712/pljava/jobs/339196487 . When I run such builds again, they start working and pass. Therefore, I do not believe there is anything wrong with the configuration or the project.
