I have two PCs in a LAN. One PC has Debian Squeeze installed on it, and the other - Debian Wheezy. The Debian Squeeze PC has regular Internet access. The Debian Wheezy PC is blocked from sending E-mail to the Internet.
I need to report a bug in Debian Wheezy. I ran reportbug on the blocked PC. Of course, it cannot send E-mail directly to the Debian bug tracking system. I used the appropriate option to save the bug report as a file. The file is ready for transmission to my ISP's SMTP server - it has all the appropriate headers and MIME encodings etc. The problem: How to actually send the file? If I use my regular E-mail client (Evolution), and attach the bug report to my message, Debian BTS does not accept it. I have also mutt and bsd-mailx installed but I don't know if and how to use them to send the file. What should I RTFM in order to find how to actually send the file? The reportbug file begins as follows. >> Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============1048519724==" >> MIME-Version: 1.0 >> From: Omer Zak <w...@zak.co.il> >> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <sub...@bugs.debian.org> >> Subject: aptitude: Misreporting of DL Size >> Message-ID: <20111218173009.32124.91794.report...@c2.home.zak.co.il> >> X-Mailer: reportbug 5.1.1 >> Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2011 19:30:09 +0200 >> >> This is a multi-part MIME message sent by reportbug. >> >> >> --===============1048519724== >> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" >> MIME-Version: 1.0 >> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >> Content-Disposition: inline >> >> Package: aptitude Thanks, --- Omer -- You haven't made an impact on the world before you caused a Debian release to be named after Snufkin.
