Description Gerard Seibert 2019-07-16 12:03:37 UTC 
FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p7 amd64 system

When I attempt to run 'fetchmailconf', I am greeted with this error message.

The fetchmailconf program requires Python with Tkinter, which does
not appear to be installed on this system.  Python can be found in
the FreeBSD Ports Collection in lang/python, and Tkinter for Python
can be found in x11-toolkits/py-tkinter.

I double-checked for 'py-tkinter'

Evidently, 'fetchmailconf' is not able to locate 'Tkinter'. "Fetchmail" is installed on this system and is working perfectly. I built everything using 'poudriere'

Proposed fix

When the fetchmailconf port was split off from fetchmail, it inherited some python version detection logic that had been intended to let fetchmail be installed with or without python and work either way. However, this logic 1) no longer works with current python packaging, and 2) doesn't really make sense in the context of a 'fetchmailconf' port that already depends on python.

This patch simplifies out that logic.

Passes 'portlint' and 'poudriere testport', works correctly when installed on FreeBSD 12.0/amd64.

Do you see a chance to get this running with a python3 version ?

py2 will go out of fashion at the end of 2019... ?

fetchmail 6.4.0 beta5 contains fixes for python3. At this point, my plan is to wait for the 6.4.0 final release to get those fixes.
