--- Begin Message ---Package: reportbug Version: 6.6.6 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? I configured report bug to use my email saying that it required TLS, gave it the email but I was not asked for a port or a password and when I tried to submit the report, it did not ask me for a password and it timed out. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I found $HOME/.reportbugsrc and commented out everything except the three lines that were recommended. That gave me a message that the headers were incorrect, so I read the /etc/reportbugs.conf and went back to using my email address and added the port and password and that worked. * What was the outcome of this action? It is working now. * What outcome did you expect instead? Unless it is less difficult to make it work, many users will not be able to report a bug as rerunning with -configure does not fix the problem. I actually had to edit the .reportbugsrc directly. I have an earthlink email address, which is pretty common, so I think a lot of users may be unable to report. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: INTERFACE="gtk2" ** /home/nancy/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "6.6.6" mode standard ui gtk2 email "[email protected]" smtphost "smtpauth.earthlink.net:587" smtpuser "[email protected]" smtppasswd <omitted> smtptls -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 1.3.1 ii python-reportbug 6.6.6 pn python:any <none> reportbug recommends no packages.
