--- Begin Message ---Package: reportbug Version: 6.6.6 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I just lost a reportbug report on another issue, due to bad wording in a reportbug prompt. Due to a bad configuration, my report failed to send (reportbug couldn't find my MTA) and it gave me a prompt which said (paraphrasing) Do you want to A) Retry or B) Do Something Else and its button choices were [yes] and [no] This makes no sense, as it isn't clear what either buttom *means* What's worse, when I clicked 'No' it just exited without comment and I seem to have lost my entire bug report. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: EDITOR="emc -c -n" INTERFACE="gtk2" ** /home/sti/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "6.6.6" mode standard ui gtk2 email "swest...@gmail.com" no-cc header "X-Debbugs-CC: swest...@gmail.com" smtphost reportbug.debian.org -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (600, 'unstable'), (550, 'experimental'), (500, 'oldoldstable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (400, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 1.2 ii python-reportbug 6.6.6 pn python:any <none> reportbug recommends no packages.
