Check Home Assistant configuration - unable to control /var/run/s6/services: supervisor not listening

I’ve got a recent installation of HA on a raspberry pi that is working fine. I have two updates pending:

  • Home Assistant Core from core-2021.9.7 to core-2021.10.4
  • Operating System from 6.4 to 6.5

I’ve never updated it before so I’m being a bit careful: full backup, read release notes, run the check HA configuration add on etc.

The “Check Home Assistant configuration” add-on reports no problem with my configuration, but it gives the error: “s6-svscanctl: fatal: unable to control /var/run/s6/services: supervisor not listening”. I’m not sure if this is something I should be concerned about or how this can be fixed. The log reads:

Is this something I should be concerned about? Any ideas on how I can fix it if it’s not OK?

I’ve got the same problem right now. Did you finally solve it?
