[Systems] cron spam from serendipity (was: [Systems-logs] Cron <munin at serendipity> if [ -x /usr/bin/munin-cron ]; then /usr/bin/munin-cron; fi)

Excerpts from root's message of 2012-03-06 11:15:01 +0100:

> Can't locate IO/Socket/INET6.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/share/perl5/Munin/Master/Node.pm line 18.

I've configured mailman to automatically discard all mails from
root at serendipity.sugarlabs.org as an interim measure to combat this
spam. Raul, please tell me when you've fixed the problem so I can take
serendipity off the blacklist.

In the long run, we should consider using a better monitoring system
that
a) attenuates warnings over time (i.e. sends notifications less and less
   often) and
b) provides a useful warning when a host doesn't send updates so we
   don't need the error output from cron.
