Package: reportbug
Version: 6.5.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I wanted to report a bug in a different package.
I didn't want to use the text interface. After all, why am I running X, right?
;^)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
First, I invoked `reportbug -u gtk2` but it failed as in #758619. (Marked as
Resolved, but not fixed in Testing as of this writing.)
Then I invoked `reportbug -u urwid` which `man reportbug` reports as one of
three valid options for th -u switch:
"-u INTERFACE, --interface=INTERFACE, --ui=INTERFACE
Specify the user interface to use.
Valid options are text, urwid, and gtk2; default is taken from the reportbug
configuration files."
* What was the outcome of this action?
Reportbug starts in text mode with the following message:
"Ignored bogus setting for -u: urwid"
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Expected a curses-like interface. TBH I'm not sure what the `urwid` interface
is supposed to look like, but I think this isn't it.

as per Debian development process, bugs are first closed with an
upload to unstable (as in this case) and the fix will lend in Testing
after "some time" (which can vary depending of others bugs introduces,
and so on) and in this case it is expected to be in around 8 days.

to use the urwid interface, you have to install the python-urwid
package, as listed in the packages Suggests field; we dont do that by
default because we dont want to install extra packages the users dont
want to, but we provide a list of the required packages in Suggests so
users can check it and install the required dependencies (leveraging
the dependencies system of Debian packages).
Regards,
