Package: reportbug
Version: 4.12.1
Severity: normal
I'm not sure how I would make a transcript, but believe that I do not do
anything out of the ordinary. SInce you mention MTA, I always make a
point about removing any mail server packages, e.g. exim-packages and so
on, since I don't need those types of software since e.g. Icedove
communicates with SMTP servers without the help any such software.
I don't know how reportbug does this, but it does manage to send bugreports.
I will try to make a list of my commands within reportbug:
1) Start it with 'reportbug packagename'
2) I am presented with a list of bug reports. I then press Enter and
I am then presented with additional reports. This repeats until there are
no more registered reports on the package.
3) After this it asks me for a Subject line for the bug reports.
4) Then it asks if there are any additional email addresses that should receive
the report. I just press Enter immediately here.
5) It asks: How would you rate the severity of this problem or report?
I usually just press Enter since the default is "normal"
6) Next, it asks about "Do any of the following apply to this report?" and
and it prints a list of special options:
1 d-i This bug is relevant to the development of debian-installer.
2 experimental This bug only applies to the experimental branch of Debian.
3 ipv6 This bug affects support for Internet Protocol version 6.
4 l10n This bug reports a localization/internationalization issue.
..
..
..
I just press enter, which is specified to mean "none"
7) Now 'nano' is started, taking over the whole terminal window. I simply write
the report where the cursor is initially positioned.
8) I save the finished report and exit from nano
9) Now I am asked:
Report will be sent to "Debian Bug Tracking System" <sub...@bugs.debian.org>
Submit this report on smart-notifier (e to edit) [Y|n|a|c|e|i|l|m|p|q|d|t|s|?]?
I pres Enter since the default is Y.
10 ) I am asked for the SMTP password, since I have configured reportbug to use
my
ISP SMTP server to send email, in my .reportbugrc, via the option smtphost. I
have
also specified the smptuser and encryption option, and this always works fine.
11) Report is sent.
