Package: apt-listchanges Version: 3.3 Severity: normal When ‘apt-listchanges’ invokes the Sendmail program, some normal error conditions are not handled properly. Instead, the ‘apt-listchanges’ process crashes without preserving the useful information.
=====
apt-listchanges: Mailing root: apt-listchanges: news for lantana
sendmail: account default not found: no configuration file available
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges", line 243, in <module>
main(config)
File "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges", line 221, in main
apt_listchanges.mail_changes(config, news, subject)
File "/usr/share/apt-listchanges/apt_listchanges.py", line 79, in mail_changes
subprocess.run(['/usr/sbin/sendmail', '-oi', '-t'],
input=message.as_bytes(), check=True)
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/subprocess.py", line 708, in run
output=stdout, stderr=stderr)
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['/usr/sbin/sendmail', '-oi', '-t']'
returned non-zero exit status 78
=====
Exit status 78 indicates some problem with configuration, but this
information is drowned by the crash message from the Python
interpreter.
The normal error conditions that can occur when calling Sendmail
should be handled without a crash, and the useful diagnostic
information from the program should be preserved and presented as
the more important output from the process.
