Package: elpa-debian-el
Version: 37.19.1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I was trying to report a bug in the inkscape package via emacs' debian-bug
command. But the report wasn't properly prefilled as it used to be.
I debugged debian-bug.el and found out that reportbug called on line
766[1] returns "1" and fails to return any output. I called the very
same command from a shell and it succeded (there was some reasonable
output). However when I set the HOME environment variable to an empty
string "", reportbug printed the following error message:
Unable to identify a valid from address, please run 'reportbug --configure'
The lisp code didn't handle this situation properly and didn't show any
error message.
To work around this problem, I set EMAIL environment to my e-mail addres
(setenv "EMAIL" "[email protected]")
before running debian-bug.
