Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.1-4
Severity: normal

Hi.

The error:

 Setting up fetchmail (6.3.1-4) ...
 usermod: invalid option -- -
 Usage: usermod  [-u uid [-o]] [-g group] [[-G group,...] [-a]]
                 [-d home [-m]] [-s shell] [-c comment] [-l new_name]
                 [-f inactive] [-e expire] [-p passwd] [-L|-U] name
 dpkg: error processing fetchmail (--configure):
  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
 Errors were encountered while processing:
  fetchmail
 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The postinst script contains the line:

  usermod --home /var/lib/fetchmail fetchmail

which, I think, should have been:

  usermod -d /var/lib/fetchmail fetchmail


Regards,
Gilles
