Ok it took awhile for me to get and reply to this message because
fetchmail went out on me. I think it is related to the nfs-server
packages I installed, in particular 'bwnfsd'. First the command:
$ fetchmail -v -v -L mytestlogfile
produces nothing. No data what so ever to look at. So trying to remove
fetchmail via 'apt-get remove' 'depkg --purge' and trying to reinstall
produces errors that are reliant on bwnfsd. Then trying to remove and
reinstall bwnfsd all produces the same error, which is:
--------------
Starting BWNFS daemon: rpc: RPC: Timed out
dpkg: error processing bwnfsd (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255
Errors were encountered while processing:
bwnfsd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
----------------
why it wants to start the BWNFS daemon when I want to remove bwnfsd and
remove fetchmail I've not a clue. Searching I was able to find an email
with the same problem at:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-0103/msg00039.html
but cannot find a follow up to it.
I'm now tying to get in the post-installation script and see if I can
figure out error 255 and or logs but I am clumsy at this. Any help on
how to diagnos this? Much thanks in advance.
