Package: reportbug Version: 7.1.1 Followup-For: Bug #849564 This bug seems like it maybe should be higher severity than 'normal'. On systems that have 7.1.1 installed, I can't seem to run reportbug no matter what I do. It seems from scanning the problem python code that I would need to not have a realname associated with the sending account at all.
Since I'm assuming the package didn't go out the door not working at all for everyone ... is there a trick to getting past this problem other than downgrading reportbug? I tried moving aside my .reportbugrc and clearing any environment variables that provide a realname, but it seems I would have to also empty the GECOS field for my account in /etc/passwd to get around this? NB: I've only tried the text UI, not sure if this maybe doesn't affect the GTK UI in the same way? -- Package-specific info: ** /home/cheetah/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "6.3.1" mode advanced -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages python-reportbug depends on: ii apt 1.4~beta2 ii file 1:5.29-1 ii python-debian 0.1.29 ii python-debianbts 2.6.1 pn python:any <none> python-reportbug suggests no packages.
