Hm, doesn't seem to have done the trick. The current dashboard page shows

snapper is clearly out of line here: the commit it claims
to have fetched 2:48 ago was obsoleted around seven hours ago.

(Snapper is one of the machines that is typically inconsistent
in this way. I've been assuming that's because its system clock
is a few hours off ... but maybe there's something else going on?)
