reopen 854405 retitle 854405 reportbug: Should handle missing optional runtime depencies more gracefully severity 84405 normal kthxbye
The issue is a little more complex. Reportbug behaves differently depending on which packages are missing. If python3-gi is missing, it falls back to text mode as documented. If, however, python3-gi is install, but gir1.2-vte-2.91 is missing, it fails to fall back and emits the reported traceback. It would be nice if reportbug handled this the same way as if python3-gi was missing. Cheers, sur5r
