how to make reportbug verbose?
Hi,
in most bugreports, there's a lot of automatically generated information
besides Package name and version: At least the "system information" with
Debian release, Architecture, Kernel and the versions of packages that
$buggy_package depends on. Sometimes there's even more, I guess that's
when bugs are made from sufficiently updated unstable machines.
Now I got a bug report for my package, netenv, which is _very_ sparse in
information. According to the subject line, the users is running sid,
then it states the package name and (up-to-date) version. That's all,
besides the users text, which isn't too informative.
The funny thing is that I had an informal mail contact with the user and
asked him to make a formal bug report, so that I could see Depends and
all. I had no idea that one could turn this info off, and I fear the
user hasn't, either.
Does anybody know what he might have done? And is there a way how to get
the relevant information to me and into the BTS, without opening a new
bug, with the correct method, this time?
TIA, Frank
P.S. The bug is #217427: swsuspend and netenv on SID
