Package: getmail4
Severity: serious
Version: 4.20.2-1
The /usr/bin/getmail wrapper hard-codes /usr/bin/python2.5, but the package
does not declare a dependency on a specific version of python.
Since the wrapper has explicit code to check for a sufficiently recent
version of python, I suggest changing the wrapper to just call /usr/bin/python
as the most appropriate fix. Doing so on my system seems to work just fine.

I just downloaded a fresh copy of the 4.20.2-1 package and unpacked it,
and I agree and confirm that the /usr/bin/getmail script has the correct,
version-less invocation of /usr/bin/python at the top.
While I have no memory of it, I am forced to conclude that I must have
hacked on the script myself to work around a problem at some point in
the past. Perhaps my default python version at the time was broken? I
really don't know.
In any case, my apologies for the confusion.
