The first 2 attempts failed because my router's ISP network was down. Now, I expected reportbug to fail stating network timeout, with an exception, or maybe a nice relevant message. But instead it gave me the wrong impression that #839994 is not an available/valid bug report. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: DEBEMAIL="r...@debian.org" DEBFULLNAME="Ritesh Raj Sarraf" INTERFACE="text" ** /home/rrs/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "6.6.3" mode advanced editor "editor" ui text realname "Ritesh Raj Sarraf" email "r...@debian.org" no-cc header "X-Debbugs-CC: r...@debian.org" smtphost reportbug.debian.org -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0brk0+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 1.3.1 ii python-reportbug 6.6.6 pn python:any <none> reportbug recommends no packages.
