*** Bug 357211 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 2

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

That's not a failure message. That's just a warning.

collectstats.pl doesn't print out anything when it succeeds, so it's probably succeeding.

Comment 3

[Frédéric Buclin]

I don't understand what you are describing. How could collectstats.pl generate an error in duplicates.cgi?? Anyway, running both collectstats.pl and duplicates.cgi on 2.22.1 and 2.23.3 doesn't generate any warning.

Comment 4

[Olav Vitters]

These messages are usually due to perl-CGI (IIRC 3.15 and newer). Upgrade that to the latest version (from CPAN). Maybe it has been fixed.

After upgrading the p5-CGI.pm from 3.16 to 3.25, this error message no long show up.

I think the fix for this is to upgrade the p5-CGI.pm to 3.25.
