Package: reportbug Version: 3.48 Severity: normal After the last step of filling a bugreport for some package (i.e. answering "y" for the question "Does your report seem satisfactory?") I got the error message:
"Bug report written as /var/tmp/amavisd-new.bug Original write failed, wrote bug report to /home/tomek/reportbug-amavisd-new-20090621-3930-j8AfQ-". At first I thought that the writing to /var/tmp/ failed, but no: amavisd-new.bug was successfully written there. As well as /home/tomek/reportbug-amavisd-new-20090621-3930-j8AfQ- and these files are identical. But the report was NOT sent (I checked the mail.log). The command I used was: reportbug --paranoid -A amavisd-nanny.diff amavisd-new After some thinking I realised that immediately before running reportbug I changed the directory, but the file I wanted to attach was in the previous directory, so it was not found by reportbug. During the second try I gave the proper filename and the report was successfully submitted. Could the error message inform about the real reason (like "the file to attach not found"), instead of telling "Original write failed..."? Thank you. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.iso-8859-2 (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 0.7.20.2+lenny1 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii python 2.5.2-3 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-central 0.6.8 register and build utility for Pyt reportbug recommends no packages.
