thanks (as always) for the patch! I'm still uncertain on the future of
the GTK+ UI: currently there is no one that willing to properly
maintain that UI; probably we should just split it into a separate
binary *and* source package and fine a way to provide UIs as plugin,
installable in a dir reportbug can scan and eventually enable them

hehe indeed

One could put the desktop file (and possibly the code for the GTK UI)
into a separate package, which would depend on the required libraries.
Attaching a first draft patch.

Not something for stretch, though.

do you know of a way to create a menu entry only if the needed
dependencies are installed? They are in Suggests, because *many*
reportbug users prefer the text UI and dont want their systems to be
cluttered by graphical libs.

what's probably going to happen is the removal of the GTK UI: it is
unmaintained.

I did not install the suggests of reportbug. After 2 years using GTK-based 
desktop environments (GNOME, Mate, Xfce), I thought the GTK UI was the 
“default” UI; I never had to install “additional dependencies” in those DEs.

I just installed python3-gi-cairo, gir1.2-vte-2.91 and python3-gtkspellcheck, 
and it works. Now the default UI is GTK.

So the bug is actually different: why does the reportbug package create a menu 
entry for the gtk2 UI if it's not the default UI?

This is the command of the '.desktop' file:

reportbug --exit-prompt --ui gtk2

It means the gtk2 UI is supposed to be the default, and it doesn't make sense 
to create a menu entry for program that doesn’t start how it is supposed to.

To conclude, GTK UI should be default for people using a DE in order to be 
user-friendly (maybe include it in the task-* packages). Or if the gtk2 UI is 
not supposed to be the default, the menu entry should not be created during 
install.

did you install the additional dependencies as specified by the documentation?

How to Use New GTK+ User Interface
==

If you tried to set the new GTK+ UI (named in reportbug as gtk2 ui)
and it fails to start (falling back to text mode, hopefully), chances
are that you are missing some of the packages listed as Suggests, in
particular:

- python3-gi
- python3-gi-cairo
- gir1.2-gtk-3.0
- gir1.2-vte-2.91
- python3-gtkspellcheck

If after installing both of them still GTK+ UI doesn't show up, please
file a report (in text ui :) ).

Bug#863513: reportbug: No GUI; only '--ui=text'

2017-05-27 Thread Diego A. Casas Toro 
Package: reportbug
Version: 7.1.6
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to start reportbug for the first time in KDE Plasma 5, but it did not 
start. 
I thought it was a problem with the '.desktop' file asociated with the menu 
entry. 
Then I realized that reportbug was starting in the background, without gtk2 GUI.

I tried to start reportbug from Konsole using '--ui=gtk2', but it starts in 
text mode 
and shows 'Ignored bogus setting for --ui: gtk'. I don't understand why 
reportbug shows
"Ignored bogus setting" when the man entry says "Valid options are text, urwid, 
and gtk2".

I realized that the autocompletion give these options: "gnome newt text", but 
gnome 
and newt cause the same output: 'Ignored bogus setting for --ui'. The bug is 
the same 
with '--interface' and '-u'.

I updated and reinstalled reportbug, but I couldn't solve the problem. 
Actually, I'm 
reporting this bug from command line.

Even if the man entry is wrong, and gnome replaces gtk2 option, reportbug 
should start 
using GUI. So, to conclude, there are two problems: the man entry is incorrect, 
and the 
reportbug program has a missing GUI.
