Package: reportbug-ng Version: 0.2007.08.20 Severity: normal If I attempt to use a MUA which is not installed on the system reportbug-ng obviously fails to invoke it. However, it offers no feedback of any form to indicate that anything has gone wrong. Similiarly, the exit status of the MUA is apparently ignored. An inexperienced user may assume that the bug has actually been submitted and not realise that anything has gone wrong.
When the MUA is invoked via GNOME Terminal then that will report at least some errors to the user (I'm not sure it'll report anything other than failed execs, though I haven't tested). --- System information. --- Architecture: powerpc Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-1-powerpc Debian Release: lenny/sid 500 unstable ftp.uk.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed =============================-+-=========== python | 2.4.4-6 python-central (>= 0.5.8) | 0.5.15 python-qt3 | 3.17.3-2 python-soappy | 0.12.0-2 xdg-utils | 1.0.1-2 -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever."
