Hi everyone, Phew, I find it quite difficult to report bugs in Debian. The recommended way [1] is to use the command line tool reportbug instead of a logging into a bug tracker and clicking "New Issue" like everywhere else. (I'm sure there has been plenty discussion about that before.)
Anyhow. One disadvantage of using a cmd tool is that tools can break, and it's been broken for a while on my machine now. (Unfortunately, this has prevented me from submitting multiple bugs already.) When launching ``` reportbug -B debian ``` (running Ubuntu 19.04) and after two, three clicks I'm getting ``` E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/reportbug/ui/gtk_ui.py", line 1049, in sync_pre_operation http_proxy=http_proxy, archived=archived, source=source) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/reportbug/debbugs.py", line 1069, in get_reports bugs = debianbts.get_bugs(pkg_filter, package) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/debianbts/debianbts.py", line 401, in get_bugs reply = soap_client.call('get_bugs', method_el) File "/home/nschloe/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pysimplesoap/client.py", line 256, in call self.xml_response = self.send(method, self.xml_request) File "/home/nschloe/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pysimplesoap/client.py", line 318, in send location, http_method, body=xml, headers=headers) File "/home/nschloe/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/httplib2/__init__.py", line 1763, in request disable_ssl_certificate_validation=self.disable_ssl_certificate_validation, File "/home/nschloe/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/httplib2/__init__.py", line 1247, in __init__ context=context, TypeError: fixer() missing 1 required positional argument: 'check_hostname' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 2293, in <module> main() File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1115, in main return iface.user_interface() File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1736, in user_interface latest_first=self.options.latest_first) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/reportbug/ui/gtk_ui.py", line 1763, in func args, kwargs = op.sync_pre_operation(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/reportbug/ui/gtk_ui.py", line 1051, in sync_pre_operation error_dialog("Unable to connect to %s BTS." % sysinfo['name']) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/reportbug/ui/gtk_ui.py", line 137, in error_dialog _assert_context(ui_context) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/reportbug/ui/gtk_ui.py", line 92, in _assert_context (_describe_context(really), _describe_context(expected))) AssertionError: Function should be called in <MainContext of reportbug thread> but was called in <MainContext of UI thread> ``` Perhaps I've got an incompatible version of a dependency installed in `~/.local/`? Not sure, but looks like a classical Python dependency thing. How can I submit a new bug instead? (Mailing to sub...@bugs.debian.org didn't work for me, nothing happened.) Help appreciated.
