[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#320584: fetchmail startup at boot causes unnecessary error messages

[Jan De Luyck]

Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.2.5-17
Severity: normal

Hello,

When fetchmail is installed, it causes spurious boot-time error messages which 
look worse than they are. They can be solved by first looking if /etc/fetchmailrc exists at all, and only then executing the rest of the script. Since I'm not interested in running a system-wide fetchmail, I don't have that file.

chown: cannot access `/etc/fetchmailrc': No such file or directory
run-parts: /etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d/fetchmail exited with return code 1
run-parts: /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc exited with return code 1

/etc/fetchmailrc not found.
can not start fetchmail daemon...

Thanks,

Jan
