[gentoo-user] unwanted msgs from cron after upgrade

[Philip Webb]

Yesterday I did my usual Sat system update, emerging new versions of
 libassuan HTTP-Cookies dialog curl coreutils binutils procps virtual/man .
Today after restarting the system, mail continues to be downloaded normally,
my mailbox is receiving notices every  5 min  from my cron mail job :

  Date: Sun, 29 Dec 2013 17:29:16 -0500
  From: Cron Daemon <root@××××××××××××.net>
  To: purslow@××××××××××××.net
  Subject: Cron <purslow@localhost> test -e /var/run/dhcpcd.pid && /usr/bin/fetchmail -s 2> /dev/null
  X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>
  X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/home/purslow>
  X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin>
  X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=purslow>
  X-Cron-Env: <USER=purslow>
    fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)

Mail is fetched by a cron job in  /var/spool/cron/crontabs/ :

  # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
  # (/tmp/crontab.XXXXv4nXL6 installed on Sun Mar 31 10:46:54 2013)
  # (Cron version V5.0 -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.12 2004/01/23 18:56:42 vixie Exp $)
  */5 * * * * test -e /var/run/dhcpcd.pid && /usr/bin/fetchmail -s 2> /dev/null

 ~/.fetchmailrc :

  set postmaster "purslow"
  set bouncemail
  set no spambounce
  set properties ""
  poll pop.ca.inter.net
    user 'purslow' there with password '********' is 'purslow' here options stripcr
  mda '/usr/bin/procmail -f - -d purslow'

  poll cmail.chass.utoronto.ca
    user 'purslow@××××××××××××××.ca' there with password '********' is 'purslow' here ssl
  mda '/usr/bin/procmail -f - -d purslow'

Can anyone suggest what might have changed to cause this nuisance ?
