Hi,

you reported a bug of fetchmail failing to start on a woody->sarge
upgrade including strace output:

'open("/home/fetchmail/.fetchmail.pid", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_SYNC, 
0666) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)'

>From reading the source and past bugs one possible reason for this
could be a wrong passwd entry for the fetchmail user.

Please check your passwd and send us the output of

grep fetchmail /etc/passwd


A correct entry would look like this:

fetchmail:x:103:65534::/var/run/fetchmail:/bin/sh
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

MfG
        Goswin
