You probably have a partial download or corrupted file. Go to the download page and look for the checksum - The MD5sum for fetchmailconf_5.3.3-3.deb stable is 223c6590b7495a41d4743d526222bc Run - md5sum file_name The two numbers probably won't match. If not download the file again. Try a different mirror if the second download doesn't work. hth, kent -- To know the truth is to distort the Universe. Alfred N. Whitehead (adaptation)
