Package: reportbug Version: 7.10.3+deb11u1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: debbug.report...@sideload.33mail.com
In responding to this bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=880877 reportbug prompted with: Does this bug still exist in version 7.10.3+deb11u1 of this package [y|N|q|?]? Luckily I happened to know the answer, but this is not always the case. Forcing users to answer this question with “y” or “n” facilitates misinfo, because a user who does not know if their particular version at the moment has the bug may opt to give an arbitrary answer instead of testing. Maybe they can’t test. Maybe testing the bug requires a complex/elaborate setup. There needs to be an option to skip this question. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: EDITOR="emacs" INTERFACE="text" ** /home/blee/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "7.10.3" mode advanced ui text realname "anonymous coward" email "tripr@a5dkbvgakon2lxmauleiizkv6i3s36wp6w3i32a3buc4xmtdnbttmryd.onion" no-cc list-cc-me smtphost reportbug.debian.org -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (990, 'stable-updates'), (990, 'stable-security'), (990, 'testing'), (990, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-16-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, 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 2.2.4 ii python3 3.9.2-3 ii python3-reportbug 7.10.3+deb11u1 ii sensible-utils 0.0.14 reportbug recommends no packages.
