Today I noticed the following when working with reportbug:
| *** Welcome to reportbug. Use ? for help at prompts. ***
| Detected character set: ISO-8859-1
| Please change your locale if this is incorrect.

| Using '"Daniel Leidert (dale)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' as your from address.
But then:

| 1024-bit DSA key, ID F32BA263, created 2004-05-27
Why does it try to use the GPG key for '"Daniel Leidert (privat)"
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' instead of '"Daniel Leidert (dale)"
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'?
IIRC it still worked correctly a few days ago (and it definitely worked
correctly in the past).
Not a clue what's going on here... I certainly haven't changed
anything lately that should make a difference. It's possible your key
list got rearranged by GnuPG recently, and there isn't a lot I can do
about that. For the record, here's what reportbug(1) says:
If [a KEYID is] not specified,
the first key in the secret keyring that matches your email
address will be used.
This is behaving as documented.
You can use the keyid setting in .reportbugrc to select a different key. e.g.
keyid 0x088F6B8C
Perhaps if multiple keys are found it may be helpful to add a prompt,
provided the keyid setting isn't found. In any event, I don't think
this is too much of a problem,
Chris
