Re: reportbug fail

["Thomas Schmitt" <scdbackup@gmx.net>]

Hi,

> I've got a brand new install of debian 11 & reportbug dies:

It is possible to report bugs via plain mail, as described in:
  https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting
  "Sending the bug report via e-mail"

Quick tour:

Use your intended bug title as mail "Subject:".

In the mail body write Pseudo-Headers "Package:", "Version:", and maybe
"Severity:" like in the following template (which initially stems from
a working reportbug):
==============================================================================

Package: [... package for which to report the bug ...]
Version: [... package version which you use ...]
Severity: [... minor / normal / important /serious ...]

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***


-- System Information:
Debian Release: [... what you have ...]
Architecture: [... e.g. amd64 ...]

Kernel: [... the version which you get from uname -a ...]
Locale: [... output of command locale, if related to the problem ...]
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)

==============================================================================

Have a nice day :)

Thomas
