-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Subject: reportbug: bails out with no message if dns resolving fails Package: reportbug Version: 3.30 Severity: normal
Hello, I got this "wonderful" behaviour from reportbug while trying to report a bug from a chroot of a freshly installed Etch system (from CD) which didn't had networking configured. - ----------8<----------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ reportbug reportbug Warning: no reportbug configuration found. Proceeding in novice mode. Detected character set: UTF-8 Please change your locale if this is incorrect. Using 'Eddy Petrisor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' as your from address. Getting status for reportbug... Checking for newer versions at packages.debian.org... Querying Debian BTS for reports on reportbug (source)... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ping packages.debian.org ping: unknown host packages.debian.org - ----------8<----------------- AFAICT, the rason is the lack of name resolving since the interface is now up. It would be nice if reportbug would at least display a message or, even better, go automatically in offline mode (and announce) if resolving fails. - -- Package-specific info: - -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-1-powerpc Locale: LANG=ro_RO.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ro_RO.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii python 2.4.3-11 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-central 0.5.8 register and build utility for Pyt Versions of packages reportbug recommends: pn python-cjkcodecs | python-ico <none> (no description available) - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFXJaMY8Chqv3NRNoRAtK2AJ9kOjIsgywKz1fq9QvW9pTxATrIpgCeJh52 VlHsFAG1rP2pqIXlAgzWFh0= =oGSu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
