Package: reportbug Version: 11.5.0 Severity: normal after submitting a bug failed, i changed my mta config, and subsequently ran "reportbug -r /tmp/reportbug-..." as instructed. as the mail was already in its final state, i immediately exited the editor, which lead to this weird interaction:
No changes were made in the editor. Report will be sent to Debian Bug Tracking System <sub...@bugs.debian.org> Submit this report on reportbug (e to edit) [y|n|a|c|E|i|l|m|p|q|d|t|?]? y Report is unchanged. Edit this report or quit [E|q|s|?]? s Sending empty report anyway... Sending message via /usr/sbin/sendmail... firstly, in the given case it's rather pointless (and therefore confusing) to say that the report is unchanged. to give an accurate account, it would have to create a pristine report template from scratch and compare the contents. secondly, it says "sending empty report", which would be confusing even if this wasn't a perfectly finalized report, as it actually means "sending unmodified generated report" or some such. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: EDITOR="sensible-editor" PAGER="sensible-pager" EMAIL="Oswald Buddenhagen <oswald.buddenha...@gmx.de>" INTERFACE="text" ** /home/ossi/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "2.3" mode advanced ui text no-cc -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.18.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 2.5.1 ii python3 3.10.4-1+b1 ii python3-reportbug 11.5.0 ii sensible-utils 0.0.17 reportbug recommends no packages.
