I'm using woody and all is OK with sympa. I just had to install a ldap
package for unknown reason (as I don't want to use ldap and I don't have
any ldap server installed). This package was in the "suggest" section of
the wwsympa package description.

I had this error too. I finally add a password to access database in
root mode and that works. (I'm using MySQL but it must be a similar
problem).
