Public bug reported:
Saw this debian bug which also affects ubuntu:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=939522
I did a release upgrade from disco to eoan, and even though it didn't fail the
upgrade, the problem is there:
Preparing to unpack .../142-fetchmail_6.4.0~rc4-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking fetchmail (6.4.0~rc4-1ubuntu1) over (6.3.26-3ubuntu1) ...
dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled:
dpkg: warning: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/fetchmailconf', which is also in
package fetchmailconf 6.3.26-3ubuntu1
dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled:
dpkg: warning: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/fetchmailconf.1.gz',
which is also in package fetchmailconf 6.3.26-3ubuntu1
And fetchmailconf, the one still shipped but now in the fetchmail package, is
busted:
# fetchmailconf
/usr/bin/fetchmailconf: 2: exec: :: not found
# cat /usr/bin/fetchmailconf
#! /bin/sh
exec : /fetchmailconf.py "$@"
This is fixed in fetchmail/6.4.0~rc4-2
unfortunately the long description of the fetchmail package still mentions
fetchmailconf:
"""
...
The fetchmailconf package includes an interactive
GUI configurator suitable for end-users.
"""
