Thanks for the confirmation. Nothing to fix on the perl side, so I'm
reassigning the bug. Cc'ing the sympa package maintainers.

I'm running mod_fcgid under Apache 2 and I have catched this error in
the log :
 
   

[Thu Jun 10 11:25:32 2010] [warn] mod_fcgid: stderr: Use of uninitialized value 
$_[0] in sprintf at /usr/lib/perl/5.10/Sys/Syslog.pm line 365.
 

This is probably a bug in whatever script is calling Sys::Syslog.  That
error message means that something called:

 syslog($priority, "%s", $foo);

or the like, and $foo was undef.

   

Yes, it was that.
The script was one of the « sympa » package and the bug has been 
corrected in v6.0.4 :

This is probably a bug in whatever script is calling Sys::Syslog.  That
error message means that something called:

syslog($priority, "%s", $foo);

or the like, and $foo was undef.
