Subject: reportbug: refuses to let me report bugs (mua not supported)

Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2010 18:30:35 +0000

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.10
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

julien@radis:~$ reportbug xorg-server
Specified mail user agent is not supported; exiting.

Nothing more to say, I guess.  Downgrading to 4.9 fixes it.

Cheers,
Julien

Hello Julien,
thanks for your report.

I think 'important' is more correct (see below for reasoning)

...

Could you please try to remove that line, and try without any option
(an editor will be spawn and send the email using the mta on the
machine)? also, can you try with '--mutt' on the command-line (ISTR
I've tried with --mutt but not with mutt in the config file)?

If any of those works, I'd downgrade the severity (it's not unusable,
and I'm sure i've used 4.10 without 'mutt' and it worked), but I
acknowledge it's something I need to fix asap, so consider this a
temporary workaround.

Without any mua option, it seems to work.  reportbug --mutt is broken
too though.  I'd still say it's a grave bug, but I won't play bug ping
pong if you disagree :)

Thanks for the quick reply.

Cheers,
Julien

the package is usable, but one of its functionality not; let's leave
as it is, i couldn't care less :)

I have the same problem. If I replace "mutt" by "mua mutt", I can
still use Mutt.

OK, that works.  Adjusting severity since there's an acceptable
workaround for now.  Thanks.
