I am setting the severity to "important", since this bug seems to have a major effect on the usability of reportbug, even though it does not make it completely unusable > On > systems that have 7.1.1 installed, I can't seem to run reportbug no matter > what I do. In my case, reportbug reads my e-mail address from the DEBEMAIL environment variable, while my name is read from the DEBFULLNAME environment variable. Unfortunately: $ echo $DEBFULLNAME Francesco Poli (wintermute) which also includes some characters which are not letters, digits, or underscores [\w], nor whitespace characters [\s]: in my case, the non-matching characters are the parentheses. In the case of Matthew, it's probably the hyphen between the double surname. In the case of Bernhard, I guess it's the dot after the first letter of the middle name. The consequence is that the regexp at line 313 of /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/reportbug/utils.py does not match and the subsequent return statement (line 314) is not executed. The Python interpreter attempts to execute line 316, where the email string has no attribute 'utils'. I am under the impression that the email string variable is masking the email module, or something like that?!? Anyway, if I set: $ DEBFULLNAME="Francesco Poli" reportbug is able to run. I hope this bug may be fixed soon. Thanks for your time! Bye. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare! To the laboratory! .....................................................
