its pretty common with packages from testing or unstable. sometimes you can get away with changing the rules files and stuff to bypass the errors and it still works(i did it with the sysstat package, removed debhelper totally and it works fine for my needs) other packages(like mysql 3.23) are much harder to compile from testing on potato(i was unsuccessful) as for alternative, depends on the package. i haven't used fetchmail in years so i can't reccomend much. nate
