still having the same problem but:

		dselect available       website packages search
		says :			says :
fetchmail		5.8-14-1		5.8.14-2
fetchmailconf		5.8.14-2		5.8.14-2
fetchmail-ssl		5.8.11-1		5.8.14-2

this still mucks up the dependencies for fetchmail and fetchmailconf.
there is a similar issue with xmame and xmame-x, the versions are different,
and so the dependencies cannot be fufilled.

Any help would be much appreciated.
