Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / getmail 5.5-3
When you run "getmail" after doing the configuration you recieve the following
error:
"bash: /usr/bin/getmail: /usr/bin/python2: bad interpreter: No such file
or directory"
This is caused by the first line of the getmail script stating
"#!/usr/bin/python2" as the interpreter.
When checking "/usr/bin" you do not find a symlink for "python2" linking
to "python2.7" (but there is one for "python3" linking to "python3.6").
Executing
"sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python2"
adds the missing symlink and solves the problem.
In case this bug can not be addressed to "getmail" i kindly ask for
indulgence - this is my first bug report ever.
