Pi-hole is running fine on my RPI. However checking the syslog, I see a returning message every 10 seconds.

Any idea what the problem could be?

The Citadel web service installed on your Raspberry Pi is trying to start the webcit-http.service and webcit-https.service but cant

If you dont need it, just disable it

sudo systemctl disable --now webcit-http.service
sudo systemctl disable --now webcit-https.service

if you need it you could reinstall it https://www.citadel.org/installing.html

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
