Package: getmail4
Version: 4.20.2-1
Severity: important
Hi,
since python is built without OpenSSL support, getmail cannot get mails over
pop/ssl
Unhandled exception follows:

go(configs)

Hi,
Anyway real bug was in python.
As I see the python 2.6 changelog:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/p/python2.6/current/changelog
DROPPED penSSL v2 support : in 2.6.6-9
Tue, 19 Apr 2011 -- this is post squeeze release initial testing package.
Then it was fixed in 2.6.6-10
Technical background is here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=623423
So this was short term unstable/testing bug in python affecting many
other package. Adding versioned dependency causes backport problem with
little added value. we do not do versioned dep for these occasional
bugs.
So I am closing this bug.
Osamu
