Instead, just copy-and-paste the output into the email that you send to the bts initially. In this particular case, your pastebin contains: $ extrepo --help syntax error at (eval 16) line 1, near "Debian::ExtRepo::Commands::--" ...propagated at /usr/bin/extrepo line 102. $ aptitude search extrepo i extrepo - External repository manager $ extrepo Use of uninitialized value $cmdlower in ucfirst at /usr/bin/extrepo line 98. Undefined subroutine &Debian::ExtRepo::Commands::::run called at (eval 16) line 1. ...propagated at /usr/bin/extrepo line 102. ...which was also mentioned in #947067 as well. Note that it doesn't actually fail to start; it starts just fine. However, the --help argument is not supported, is attempted to be interpreted as a command, and that fails, which produces that error message. That's indeed not very helpful, but it works just fine. Until this bug is fixed, for help on how to use it, please read the output of "man extrepo".
