thank you for your answer. You were also right.;-)
I followed your advice and deleted the cron_check_for_updates from the cron table to make it stop running and now: there are no error-messages any more. ;-)
thanxs & greetings,

]]>Mahara is trying to scrape the launchpad downloads page to see if there's a new version of Mahara available, and the only point of that is to display a message in the admin section to encourage the admin to upgrade.
It looks like the function was made more robust/less noisy in 1.4, so if it bothers you, you could upgrade to 1.4, replace that function with the 1.4 version, or even just delete cron_check_for_updates from your cron table (to make it stop running).
