I was working on Debian on the Openmoko FreeRunner [1] and I tried to
report a bug through reportbug.
1) I *know* how to use reportbug, but since I wanted to act as an
end-user (who does not necessarily reads documentation and so on), I
did not configure anything in /etc/reportbug.conf except:
- header "X-Debbugs-CC:"
email "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
realname "Luca Capello"
2) for the very same reason above, I did not run `reportbug --configure`
as a normal user
3) on the Openmoko FreeRunner [1], Debian is installed through
cdebootstrap with the --minimal flavor, which means that there is no
MTA by default
Everything worked as expected, but the report was not sent and there was
no error:
=====
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ reportbug localepurge
[...]
"/tmp/reportbug-localepurge-20081113-2087-Tv1k0M" 120L, 4267C written
Report will be sent to "Debian Bug Tracking System" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Submit this report on localepurge (e to edit) [Y|n|a|c|e|i|l|m|p|q|?]? y
Bug report written as /var/tmp/localepurge.bug
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
=====
/var/tmp/localepurge.bug is exactly the file Michelle asked for: I then
send it from my laptop with
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/sbin/sendmail -t <localepurge.bug
and the result is bug #505561 [2].
However, two notes, thanks to Blars Blarson on #debbugs/IRC:
1) I firstly sent the mail above as root and after having waited the BTS
reply for 3h, Blars looked at it and discovered that my mail was
'filtered as "from-daemon", probably because you sent from root'.
Re-sending it as a normal user works as expected...
2) Message-ID is mandatory.
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
