Hi,

2014-06-02 08:17 Matijs van Zuijlen:

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.10-1+b1
Followup-For: Bug #463510

Well, this is surprising. For quite a while it seemed the consensus was
to indeed remove reportbug, and now I suddenly get a message that this
bug report has been closed. Why this sudden change of heart?


This will be removed in the next version, marking as +pending.


Cheers.

A suggestion is made in the -done mail that would indeed alleviate the
problem somewhat (swapping user ids), but I see no follow-up bug to
arrange for this to happen. Are you expecting me to file any follow-up
bugs?

Kind regards,
Matijs

Bug#463510: aptitude: Remove option to run reportbug

[Matijs van Zuijlen]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.10-1+b1
Severity: wishlist

Please consider removing the option to run reportbug from withing aptitude.

  - Reportbug can easily be run from the command line, so there's no real
need for this option
  - Aptitude is most often run as root, and reportbug discourages being run
as root. After then aborting reportbug you still have to run it
manually from the command line.
  - The option to run reportbug can be triggered accidentally (#412830).
  - I have accidentally triggered reportbug many times. Only once have I
considered filing a bug report from withing aptitude: Aptitude is not
particularly suited to find the package a particular bug pertains to.
