Package: sympa
Version: 5.4.6-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi,
running sympa or sympa perl scripts, e.g.
/etc/init.d/sympa start
or the sympa.pl reports
$* is no longer supported at /usr/lib/sympa/bin/parser.pl line 65.
looks as if sympa is not compatible with latest perl versions.
regards

Version: 5.4.7-1
Hi,
Thanks for spotting this.
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.
I only today discovered above goof, and when investigating this bug
earlier on was double puzzled that a) bug#501154 was already closed and
b) I could not locate any instances of $* in the upstream code.
Turns out that upstream adopted our fix in upstream release 5.4.7, so
this should be ultimately fixed by now.
Thanks again for reporting this.
Kind regards,
- Jonas
