Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.4.33-1
Severity: important

I call fetchmal every 10 minutes in my crontab as "fetchmail -a -s".
This used to work until the latest upgrade without problems (for
decades).

Since upgrading I get the error message:
fetchmail: can't accept options while a background fetchmail is running.
argc = 3, arg list:
arg 1 = "-a"
arg 2 = "-s"

This also happens when called on the command line.

However, fetchmail is not intended to run in the background, expecially:

# cat /etc/default/fetchmail
…
# Declare here if we want to start fetchmail. 'yes' or 'no'
START_DAEMON=no

But somehow it is in the background:

helge       2994  0.0  0.0  13984  8216 ?        Ss   20:07   0:00 fetchmail 
--nodetach --daemon 300

In the system logs (from boot until now) I get lots of errors:
