Package: reportbug Version: 6.6.5 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
If your SMTP settings are incorrectly configured, such that reportbug cannot send mail (for example, the wrong port is selected), then there's no way to save the details of the bug you have entered. After the connection fails, you are presented with the question "Do you want to retry" - "Yes" immediately retries with no other options, and "No" results in "Press enter to exit" with no other options. There should be a way to either save your bug and then reload it after fixing your SMTP settings, or else adjust your SMTP settings and try again, without exiting. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: INTERFACE="gtk2" ** /home/lion/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "6.6.5" mode standard ui gtk2 email "z...@david.gloveraoki.net" smtphost "mail.messagingengine.com:587" smtpuser "davi...@fastmail.com" smtppasswd <omitted> smtptls -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 1.0.10.2 ii python 2.7.9-1 ii python-reportbug 6.6.5 pn python:any <none> reportbug recommends no packages.
