r = (Desired=Remove)
F = (Status=Failed-config)
R = (Err?=Reinst-required)
which is roughly consistent with information from apt-get and from dselect.

Imagination suggests, 
dpkg  --force-things  remove-reinstreq  fetchmailconf

Then install it again with dselect and purge 
with dselect.

Thanks,       Peter E.
