smeserver trap post-install: fetchmail

Updated: fetchmail.i386 0:6.2.5-6.el4.5
Complete!
1. Should I worry about it?
2. Is this a bug or my configuration?

If you are really sure that you did not install any other contrib than you should file a bugreport against the smeserver-awstats contrib as this is probably causing the errors, but it could also be the newly installed fetchmail contrib, this probably happens on expanding of the templates for the server-manager as this is done automatically after an upgrade. If your server-manager is still functioning than you still report this as a bug, so we can clean up (contrib)code as well.

The bug tracker is the place to check (!) and to report these things.

It looks to be known bug 2284 (http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2284)
