Details

An updated fetchmail package that fixes a bug in KPOP support is now available.

Fetchmail is a remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended
for use over on-demand TCP/IP links, like SLIP or PPP connections.

An issue in fetchmail prevented it from working with Kerberos tickets on
POP servers.

Users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
