Now it's clear. Let's say: 1. Specify a non-existing package name 2. Let reportbug find the given package as it was a filename among all the packages 3. Now you get a list of matching packages, choose one. 4. After selecting tags the bug report has been submitted without being edited. It works if you specify that Reportbug is a shell application, so that when you run it from the menu it opens a shell too. It might be related to isatty stuff, bugscripts and such. -- http://syx.berlios.de - Smalltalk YX http://lethalman.blogspot.com - Thoughts about computer technologies http://www.debian.org - The Universal Operating System
