Bug#980765: [Debian-med-packaging] Bug#980765: eigensoft: absolute path to fixgreen in /usr/bin/ploteig

Can this bug be closed then? I just checked the latest version (which is even in buster) and there seems to be no sign of ploteig script; I also did a quick grep through the source to confirm there are no more hard-coded references to np29's home directory.

The problem with "reportbug" is that it needs an MTA configured on the system you are reporting from but most people like me using Ubuntu do not use "mutt" and a local MTA. Furthermore, the Ubuntu "apport" system is for reporting BUGs in Ubuntu and I realise that the Debian-Med team are the people doing the packaging of this software. I've also reported a BUG in "metaphlan2" to the Debian-Med list, but I will try my best to use "reportbug" again: The last time I tried I gave up in frustration!
