Ubuntu's version of reportbug is a fork that protects against this particular issue, so it might be wise to follow their example. There must be a patch file somewhere, but diff'ing the latest versions of each shows roughly how they square this particular circle. The sources are available at:
* https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/reportbug/3.39ubuntu3/+files/reportbug_3.39ubuntu3.tar.gz * http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/reportbug/reportbug_3.39-0.1.tar.gz Without really understanding how any of this works, the main differences seem to be that the Ubuntu version: * strips out some Debian-specific behaviour - e.g. handle_debian_ftp() * Changes several references in failure messages from "blah blah <name of debian server>" to "blah blah <type of server>" * Defines a specific SMTP server in the config file (presumably because Ubuntu doesn't have an SMTP server by default?) * Posts to [EMAIL PROTECTED] by default * For bug reports to ubuntu-users, prints the following message: Your bug report has been sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can subscribe to this mailing list at http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users An archive of this mailing list can be found at http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/ In addition to the above, I think it would be a good idea to prepend the following text (or something like it) to the REPORTBUG_NG_INSTRUCTIONS variable in MyMainWindow.py: === START TEXT === <h2>Please use <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+filebug";>Ubuntu's bug reporting tool</a> to report bugs in Ubuntu</h2> <p>This program was designed to report bugs in Ubuntu's parent project, Debian.
