Package: getmail6
Version: 6.18.11-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

after today's upgrade getmails exits with an error:
/usr/bin/getmails: 32: Bad substitution

This seems related to https://github.com/getmail6/getmail6/issues/148
and happens only when /bin/sh is linked to /usr/bin/dash (which is
Debian standard since Squeeze) and it looks like the patch was only
tested with Bash.

Replacing shebang with '#!/bin/bash' is a simple workaround.

Thank you for maintaining this package!
