Package: reportbug
Version: 6.6.6
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
reportbug exits with an uncatched exception and cryptic error when using
--draft= option with a non existing directory.
$ reportbug --draft=/tmp/non-existing
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 2247, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1062, in main
print "The directory % does not exist; exiting." % options.draftpath
TypeError: %d format: a number is required, not str
This is due to an error in format string.
The attached patch fixes the issue.
