[Bug 1866572] Re: Sync fetchmail 6.4.2-2 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

[Robie Basak]

Thanks Matthias, the summary is very helpful.

"Breaking Changes" refers only to fetchmailconf. As far as I can tell,
this is no longer packaged, and wasn't in 6.4.1-1ubuntu1 either. Is this
correct? It is still listed as a Suggests, but seems to have disappeared
in 6.4 packaging compared to Bionic where it was present, for example.
Or is it somehow integrated into the main binary now? If fetchmailconf
isn't present in Focal, I think they aren't Breaking Changes from
Ubuntu's perspective? But it might be a separate bug that needs
resolving that fetchmailconf has vanished?

Title:
  Sync fetchmail 6.4.2-2 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Status in fetchmail package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Please sync fetchmail 6.4.2-2 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

  Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
    * Merge with Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
      - d/tests: Add basic dep8 test cases.  This adds a trivial test to
        verify installation of the main bits, and that the service is up
        and running.  Partially addresses LP #1677818 "Missing dep8
        tests", however a true fix will also test email fetching from a
        (local) mail service.
  The dep8 tests were pulled into Debian.

  Changelog entries since current focal version 6.4.1-1ubuntu1:

  fetchmail (6.4.2-2) unstable; urgency=medium

    * Allow stderr on service testing.
