Package: reportbug Version: 6.5.0+nmu1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
To reproduce this: * Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list and install libdvdcss2: echo deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org/ testing main non-free >>/etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get install libdvdcss2 * Report a bug against libdvdcss2: reportbug libdvdcss2 reportbug will happily report the bug despite the fact this is not a Debian package and will only lead to the bug being immediately closed: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=759430 Given that reportbug already accesses the Debian servers to grab the list of bugs for the broken package, it could certainly also check whether that package actually is a Debian package. This would avoid wasted time on both sides. Alternately, given that it correctly identifies the package maintainer, it could print a warning and offer to email the bug report to him directly. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: EDITOR="vi" INTERFACE="text" ** /home/fgouget/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "4.7" mode standard ui text email "[email protected]" -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 1.0.6 ii python 2.7.8-1 ii python-reportbug 6.5.0+nmu1 reportbug recommends no packages.
