--- Begin Message ---Package: sympa Version: 5.3.4-5.2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable After installation of sympa, it tries to start the daemons, and the following errors are printed out for each of the daemons: Setting up sympa (5.3.4-5.2) ... Starting Sympa mailing list manager: sympaPrototype mismatch: sub Lock::LOCK_SH () vs none at /usr/lib/sympa/bin/Lock.pm line 38. Constant subroutine LOCK_SH redefined at /usr/lib/sympa/bin/Lock.pm line 38. Prototype mismatch: sub Lock::LOCK_EX () vs none at /usr/lib/sympa/bin/Lock.pm line 39. Constant subroutine LOCK_EX redefined at /usr/lib/sympa/bin/Lock.pm line 39. Prototype mismatch: sub Lock::LOCK_NB () vs none at /usr/lib/sympa/bin/Lock.pm line 40. Constant subroutine LOCK_NB redefined at /usr/lib/sympa/bin/Lock.pm line 40. $* is no longer supported at /usr/lib/sympa/bin/sympa.pl line 162. I made these go away by commenting out: #sub LOCK_SH {1}; #sub LOCK_EX {2}; #sub LOCK_NB {4}; in Lock.pm on line 38, I dont know if this causes any problems or not. The other error: $* is no longer supported at /usr/lib/sympa/bin/parser.pl line 63. Is not something I know how to fix, however I believe that this was deprecated by perl 5.10 as perldoc perlvar says: $* Set to a non-zero integer value to do multi-line matching within a string, 0 (or undefined) to tell Perl that it can assume that strings contain a single line, for the purpose of optimizing pattern matches. Pattern matches on strings con taining multiple newlines can produce confusing results when $* is 0 or undefined. Default is undefined. (Mnemonic: * matches multiple things.) This variable influences the interpretation of only "^" and "$". A literal newline can be searched for even when "$* == 0". Use of $* is deprecated in modern Perl, supplanted by the "/s" and "/m" modifiers on pattern matching. Assigning a non-numerical value to $* triggers a warning (and makes $* act if "$* == 0"), while assigning a numerical value to $* makes that an implicit "int" is applied on the value. Which makes me think that maybe this should be changed to use the /m modifier, but I dont know what this particular function in sympa does. Due to the fact that the four daemons all produce these errors when sympa is started, and the effects of running code with unsupported perlisms and unresolved prototype mismatches makes me think that this version of sympa should not be released with Debian.

--- Begin Message --------BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Version: 5.4.7-1 It was indeed a regression: The packaging releases 5.3.4-6 and 5.3.4-6.1 unfortunately was not taken into account during the massive(!) repackaging leading to 5.4.6-1. Luckily, upstream fixed the problem in release 5.4.7 thanks to Micah Anderson reporting about it, so this should be ultimately fixed by now.
