Package: reportbug
Version: 6.6.0
Severity: important
Not only did it crash, but there doesn't seem to be any sign of the temp
file any more, so I had to retype the bug report :-(
Report will be sent to "Debian Bug Tracking System" <sub...@bugs.debian.org>

Looking at the code:
elif outfile or not ((mta and os.path.exists(mta)) or smtphost):
msgname = os.path.expanduser(outfile) or ('/var/tmp/%s.bug' % package)$
It would appear to be that outfile is None (not sure I understand why),
however the condition gets satisfied if a MTA is not installed or is
smtphost is defined.
It then crashes.
If this is an error condition, there needs to be a better error message,
and even better the temp file created by the editor should not get deleted.
Thanks
