Package: reportbug
Version: 3.17
Severity: normal
I can't seem to pipe in a bunch of "no"s:
% yes N | reportbug --query-only xpdf ; echo $?
1 # there's a 5-10 second pause before the '1' shows up.
Is 'reportbug' using standard input? I skimmed the code, (but am not
expert in Python), and got the impression that it used some form of raw
input function that was lower level than standard input.
Note: this is related to this bug:
#222621 /usr/bin/querybts: Could provide option to list all bugs without user
interaction
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=222621
...which I'd commented on last April, adding a shell script kludge.
It's odd since 'querybts' works fine with a 'yes' pipe.

If you need the bug list of a package.
I don't plan to support piping "yes" to reportbug in the general case:
if you need something specific to be automated, then file a wishlist
bug about it.
