[tex-live] Warning with tlmgr

[Paulo Roberto Massa Cereda]

Hello friends,

Now that Rolf mentioned it, I get the very same warning with tlmgr 
running in a Fedora 23 machine with Perl 5.22:

---------------------
[paulo at cambridge ~] $ perl -v

This is perl 5, version 22, subversion 0 (v5.22.0) built for 
x86_64-linux-thread-multi
(with 14 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
---------------------

Norbert, I get the exact same excerpt you posted from the 5.22 manual (I 
tried perldoc -f sprintf).

All the best!

Paulo
