I just ran into a similar issue trying to use reportbug on a computer I installed Devuan 1.0 Stable a week ago today using the Netinstall ISO.
Here is what happened when running reportbug for the first time: $ reportbug flashplugin-nonfree Warning: no reportbug configuration found. Proceeding in novice mode. Detected character set: UTF-8 Please change your locale if this is incorrect. Using 'Nate Bargmann <n...@mattsbox.lan>' as your from address. Getting status for flashplugin-nonfree... Will send report to Devuan (per lsb_release). Querying Devuan BTS for reports on flashplugin-nonfree (source)... Unable to connect to Devuan BTS; continue [y|N|?]? y Maintainer for flashplugin-nonfree is 'Bart Martens <ba...@debian.org>'. Looking up dependencies of flashplugin-nonfree... Briefly describe the problem (max. 100 characters allowed). This will be the bug email subject, so keep the summary as concise as possible, for example: "fails to send email" or "does not start with -q option specified" (enter Ctrl+c to exit reportbug without reporting a bug). > reportbug: exiting due to user interrupt. Nevermind that my email address is incorrect as I had not yet created a $HOME/.reportbugrc on that computer. I did create $HOME/.reportbugrc and uncommented the line of "bts devuan", set my email, realname, and replyto variables and nothing else and I still get the: Unable to connect to Devuan BTS; continue [y|N|?]? error message, even on this desktop. The BTS doesn't seem to be down as I can access it via the Web. Is there a hardcoded URL that could be incorrect? To recap, I originally got the "Unable to connect" message on a machine that was a clean Devuan Jessie Stable installation. I also receive it on a machine that was migrated over from Debian Jessie. I have confirmed that the reportbug package is at version 6.6.3+devuan1.3 on both computers. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
