Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.6.2-3
Followup-For: Bug #1129245

Dear Maintainer,

this should make clear, where the problems are.
I have not the knowledge to write a smart and clean fix.


cd /etc/systemd/system/
ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/user/fetchmail.service .

Add "-f /etc/fetchmailrc" to /usr/lib/systemd/user/fetchmail.service:
[Service]
ExecStart=fetchmail --nodetach --daemon 300 -f /etc/fetchmailrc

Owner has to be root:
#ls -l fetchmailrc
-rw------- 1 root root 1784  6. Mär 19:30 fetchmailrc


systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart fetchmail.service
systemctl status fetchmail.service


Greetings, Andreas
