Hi,

The following change does not have the intended effect:

Changes made to '/etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d/fetchmail' follow:
  @@ -7,6 +7,6 @@
   	shift
   done

  -if [ -x /etc/init.d/fetchmail ]; then
  +if [ -x /etc/init.d/fetchmail ] && [ "$(pidof fetchmail)" != "x" ]; then
   	/etc/init.d/fetchmail awaken
   fi

The second test will always be true. You probably wanted to add "x"
before $() but I recommend to avoid such a workarround and use the
builtin test instead for non-empy string:
  [ -n "$(pidof fetchmail)" ]

The test will return false if that command will return an empty
string, thus fetchmail is not running. However, some other package
maintainers have decided to rely on the return code of
"/etc/init.d/$SRV status > /dev/null" to decide if the service should
be restarted/reloaded.

Thanks
