Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.17-2
Severity: serious
Justification: breaks unrelated software (blocks dpkg's configure stage)
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fetchmail.postinst misses the second "." in its
call to update-rc.d:
dpkg: error processing fetchmail (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
fetchmail
Press return to continue.
Setting up fetchmail (6.3.17-2) ...
update-rc.d: error: start|stop arguments not terminated by "."
usage: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] <basename> remove
update-rc.d [-n] <basename> defaults [NN | SS KK]
update-rc.d [-n] <basename> start|stop NN runlvl [runlvl] [...] .
update-rc.d [-n] <basename> disable|enable [S|2|3|4|5]
-n: not really
-f: force
I had the packages that provide update-rc.d on hold; but have now updated them
and update-rc.d still considers this a fatal error.
