Can you file a bug for this.

I encountered this myself last week in Satellite and planned to write a 
bug for Satellite (eventually - but my review was not wrapped up yet of 
a bigger issue). I made a comment with contents:


Minor bug (but fatal)

/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/NOCpulse/Gritch.pm

Line 408 needs to be commented out:

         my $sendmail = get_sendmail();

Which stops failure of this code path and stops the cron emails every 15
minutes for notification failing with email:


-------- Original Message --------

Undefined subroutine &NOCpulse::Gritch::get_sendmail called at
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/NOCpulse/Gritch.pm line 408.

Now I get these emails from the 5.4.0 Satellite:
