[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#603861: fetchmailconf: looks in the wrong place for fetchmailconf.py

[Justin B Rye]

Package: fetchmailconf
Version: 6.3.18-1
Severity: normal

 jbr at xan:~$ sudo aptitude install fetchmailconf
 [...]
 jbr at xan:~$ fetchmailconf
 /usr/bin/python: can't open file '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/fetchmailconf.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

But it's probably too late to keep this bug out of Squeeze, because
of course there's a simple workaround:

 jbr at xan:/$ ls -l /usr/lib/py*/*-*/f*.py
 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Nov 17 22:02 /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/fetchmailconf.py -> /usr/share/pyshared/fetchmailconf.py
 jbr at xan:/$ python /usr/share/pyshared/fetchmailconf.py
 [works]
