Likely caused because the server is running in an LXC (or other nom-du-jour)
container without necessary permissions.


Note that the database is supposed to be modified via a setuid root binary,
which then calls the actual perl script. The perl script is not supposed to work
correctly when called directly as an unprivileged user.

LXC is known to have problems with setuid binaries for unprivileged containers,
but that seems to be a design choice.
