Package: reportbug Version: 3.18 Severity: wishlist
debconf had split up its config DBs and now have "passwords.dat" readable only for root. So when reportbug is run by ordinary user, debconf-show exits with non-zero status, and reportbug writes in report text that it has failed. While debconf-show just writes a warning, and then outputs all meaningful info it could read as current user. I think reportbug should always add stdout and stderr output of debconf-show to the report, and inform about numeric non-zero exit code, not just write "debconf-show failed". -- Package-specific info: ** /home/mwg/.reportbugrc: mode standard -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers breezy APT policy: (500, 'breezy'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14 Locale: LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=uk_UA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii python2.3 2.3.5-9 An interactive high-level object-o Versions of packages reportbug recommends: pn python2.3-cjkcodecs | python2 <none> (no description available) -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
