Unfortunately, this report does not adfere to one issue, one report.
I'll pick #1 as the most important issue, it is the one that all the
following discussion focused on. Consequently, I am marking it as
Please fix it, instead of removing it. A lot of us file legitimate bugs
to debian with it.
Perhaps create a message about reportbug being deprecated for Ubuntu,
and an offer to launch apport, or something, or to specify a bug
tracker.

Are there people still using reportbug? Are the wishes of the original reporter
satisfied or they won't be?
Can this bug be closed?

As long as reportbug is still in the repository and the man page does
not make it clear that reported bugs will be silently dropped, then yes,
this bug should still be open. Ideally, of course, if reportbug is to
stay, then launchpad should be modified to accept bug reports by email.

The least thing that should be done IMHO is to issue a warning to the
user when reportbug is started that, contrary to what one might expect,
reportbug will NOT report a bug in the bug tracking system, but only
send an email to the ubuntu-users list; furthermore, it should direct
the user to the
I thought, that the development on apport etc. are fixed also reportbug, or at
least reportbug-ng would fix all these issues on reportbug.
But ist has got still the same issues.
I strongly recommend to give reportbug, or at least reportbug-ng the
capabilities, to communicate with launchpad.
Why reportbug even in the archive in it's current state? It serves no
purpose as is.
And what is the logic behind it's sending emails to the Ubuntu Users
mailing list?
reportbug is to report bugs, not to ask questions of other users.
And lastly, how has this package continually migrated from
Johan, a few comments:
- reportbug is no capable to run on X11
(this would be useful for users which are not using the commandline)
- all communication methods are currently not compatible with launchpad
- Maybe the bug-attributes of the debian-bts and launchpad are not compatible.

Scoopex, except for the communication with launchpad reportbug does
everything you want.
Extending reportbug seems like a better idea than to replace it when
it's just a few new features that are needed.

Reportbug seems to be broken on ubuntu. Please remove it. In my opition is is a
good idea
to write a new and very simple utility which is implemented the following way:
- to prevent duplicate bugs, the tool provides information about existing bugs
directly after startup
- the tool should be
apport is only for crashes, reportbug is for all kinds of bugs.

IMO, a working reportbug is pretty much essential these days; the
current state should really have been a release blocker for the whole
distribution.
And directing people to use a web browser, days after sending the bug,
certainly does not seem to match any of this Ubuntu philosophy stuff
