Hi,

This is likely not a sympa bug.
It seems to be a bug in perl-DBD-MySQL, fixed in version 5.013, 
triggered with some MySQL versions.
See https://github.com/perl5-dbi/DBD-mysql/issues/354

I would guess not only sympa package was updated, mysql was likely 
updated too.
'rpm -qa --last | grep -i -e sympa -e mysql' could possibly tell more.

Could you please provided both the perl module and mysql version ?

Regards,
Xavier
