But I still would like to know why this happens.
You should remove the according line of your /etc/suid.conf file. A symbolic link can never have permissions 4755, the suidmanager tries to chmod 4755 this link on every run but the chmod always fails. The line is probably a relict of your sendmail days.[1] If you never had sendmail installed something strange has happen.
