Bug#944562: reportbug: Incorrect error message when urwid is not available
Package: reportbug
Version: 7.5.3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I tried to use the urwid interface, and got the following message:
$ reportbug --ui=urwid
Cannot use UI urwid because of "Please install the python-urwid package to use this interface.", defaulting to "text"
However, installing python-urwid did not solve the issue. Indeed, the
dependency is on python3-urwid, not on python-urwid.
Could you please fix the message to indicate the correct missing
package?
Thanks!
Best regards
Fabrice
