Looking around here

  http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fetchmail/

reveals that the package name is fetchmail_6.4.16-4+deb11u1_amd64.deb
these days. My hunch is that your synaptic is looking at a stale
package database. Do an "apt-get update" or whatever you have to do
to synaptic to achieve the same effect, perhaps the problem goes away.
