[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#389270: fetchmail: DNS problem in daemon mode

[Eike Sauer]

Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.4-6+b1
Severity: important

My fetchmail daemon doesn't fetch mail. It tells me it
can't resolve DNS when woken up, no matte if by due time 
or by invoking "/etc/init.d/fetchmail awaken". 

When I do 
* tail -f /var/log/mail.log
* ping pop.t-online.de (works, "0% packet loss")
* /etc/init.d/fetchmail awaken
...I get ...
Sep 24 22:29:34 localhost fetchmail[4061]: erweckt um So 24 Sep 2006 
22:29:34 CEST
Sep 24 22:29:34 localhost fetchmail[4061]: konnte kanonischen DNS-Namen 
von pop.t-online.de (pop.t-online.de) nicht finden
Sep 24 22:29:34 localhost fetchmail[4061]: Abfragestatus=11 (DNS)

Invoking fetchmail by hand works fine.
