Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.19-1
Severity: normal
I installed the falselogin package, and changed the shell of fetchmail,
amongst other users, in /etc/passwd to /usr/bin/falselogin.
On just now upgrading fetchmail, the passwd file has been altered
and the shell of fetchmail changed to /bin/false.
Should the upgrade of fetchmail be changing the login shell
without even asking?
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
J G Miller

No bug in my opinion. This is on purpose, the fetchmail login shell should
always be /bin/false. Everything else just doesn't make sense.
Cheers
