When looking for help don't set rules to those that give it to you, just be happy that help is given without being billed for it apt-cache search BTS debbugs - The bug tracking system based on the active Debian BTS debian-el - Emacs helpers specific to Debian users devscripts - Scripts to make the life of a Debian Package maintainer easier dpkg-dev-el - Emacs helpers specific to Debian development flyspray - lightweight Bug Tracking System (BTS) in PHP gcc-snapshot - A SNAPSHOT of the GNU Compiler Collection libtse3-0.3.1c2a - portable MIDI sequencer engine in C++ - development files libtse3-dev - portable MIDI sequencer engine in C++ - development files nbtscan - A program for scanning networks for NetBIOS name information reportbug - reports bugs in the Debian distribution ****:~$ apt-cache show reportbug Package: reportbug Priority: standard Section: utils Installed-Size: 372 Maintainer: Chris Lawrence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: all Version: 3.18 Depends: python2.3 Recommends: python2.3-cjkcodecs | python2.3-iconvcodec Suggests: postfix | exim4 | mail-transport-agent, gnupg | pgp, debconf-utils (>> 1.1.0), debsums, file (>> 1.30), dlocate Filename: pool/main/r/reportbug/reportbug_3.18_all.deb Size: 127610 MD5sum: 58588256cff916c2896191db06bcd057 Description: reports bugs in the Debian distribution reportbug is a tool designed to make the reporting of bugs in Debian and derived distributions relatively painless. Its features include: . * Integration with the mutt, af, and mh/nmh mail readers. * Access to outstanding bug reports to make it easier to identify whether problems have already been reported. * Automatic checking for newer versions of packages. * Optional automatic verification of integrity of packages via debsums. * Support for following-up on outstanding reports. * Optional PGP/GnuPG integration. . reportbug is designed to be used on systems with an installed mail transport agent, like exim or sendmail; however, you can edit the configuration file and send reports using any available mail server. . This package also includes the "querybts" script for browsing the Debian bug tracking system. . If your system's users use locales with character sets other than UTF-8 and ISO-8859-*, one of either python2.3-cjkcodecs or python2.3-iconvcodec is required for proper operation. For Asian locales, the use of python2.3-cjkcodecs is preferred over the more limited python2.3-iconvcodec.
