Package: getmail
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I upgraded my Debian unstable system, and getmail was removed automatically.

Re-installing fails with the following message:
----
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 python : PreDepends: python-minimal (= 2.7.17-2) but it is not going to be 
installed
          Depends: libpython-stdlib (= 2.7.17-2) but it is not going to be 
installed
          Depends: python2 (= 2.7.17-2) but 2.7.18-2 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
----


I read that depending on the unversioned python lib is the problem here,
and that modifying the dependency should solve the problem:
