Fair enough... I just ran 'update-rc.d fetchmail remove' and it removed the scripts for fetchmail from all the various rcX.d directories. Running 'apt-get install fetchmail' says this: Setting up fetchmail (5.8.17-1) ... update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/fetchmail: file does not exist dpkg: error processing fetchmail (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: fetchmail E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Regards Hall
