[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#377135: fails to see that network is back

[Vincent Fourmond]

Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.4-1
Severity: normal

  Hello !

  I use fetchmail in daemon mode to get my mails (personnal daemon), and it happens that sometimes, at 
boot time, the dhcp client fails to see there is a network. So fetchmail is started when no external 
interface is up, and no network reachable.

  It seems that fetchmail fails to see that the network connection is coming back: after running 
dhclient and when everything is right, I still don't get any mails. I need to kill the running daemon 
and start it again to get it working.

  Any ideas ? It looks like it might be linked to #294547.

  Regards,

	Vincent Fourmond
