Package: reportbug Version: 12.0.0 Severity: wishlist Today I've tried to run reportbug after a pretty long time of not using it, and it turned out that it did nothing, but printing something like: "Selected mail user agent cannot be found, exiting".
It took me a few minutes to discover that I have ~/.reportbugrc from 2012 containing a "mutt" line, but mutt package was no longer installed on my system (most likely it got removed some time ago by mistake). After reinstalling mutt, reportbug started working fine. But I wish the message printed by reportbug in such cases would be more helpful. It would be nice if it could at least include the name of the selected mua, for example: "Selected mail user agent 'mutt' cannot be found". (It would be even greater if it could print the name of the config file as well, e.g. "Mail user agent 'mutt' selected in ~/.reportbugrc cannot be found").
