I need to investigate what this is and what I need to do about it.

After my system update yesterday (we replaced the system disk and updated from
an old Redhat install to a fresh Debian - the whole process was a bit more
involved and painful than planned and it took many more hours than what we
expected), the server has lots of new versions of just about everything and a
few new paths for some basic commands. Such as the mail program used by the
commit-mailer.

So, I'll fix this in the server end so hopefully this will work fine in the
next commit!

Yes, it wasn't installed properly but should be fine now.
