--- Begin Message ---Version: 7.0.0 Hi, this was caused by Python 2's locale-dependent str.upper(), which turned "novice" into "NOViCE" when generating the MODE_* names under tr_TR. reportbug was ported to Python 3 in 7.0.0, where str.upper() no longer depends on the locale, and today the modes are a plain enum. I tested the current version (13.2.0+nmu1) under LC_ALL=tr_TR.UTF-8: it starts and generates a report normally, so I'm closing this bug. Please reopen it if you still see problems with a current reportbug. Regards, Sandro
