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

so why you are not disabling the init script of fetchmail?
i don't think it is a bug. this message is for poeple who
want to use the init script (normally for system wide
fetchmails) and this doesn't work if there is no system wide
configuration. so you have to disable it simply if you don't
want to use this. Point me if I missed something.
Regards Nico

VIM has two modes - the one in which it beeps 
and the one in which it doesn't -- encrypted mail preferred
