Package: python-reportbug
Version: 6.6.3
Severity: normal
The condition
elif outfile or not ((mta and os.path.exists(mta)) or smtphost):
in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/reportbug/submit.py (line 315) is true
also if outfile is None and mta is set to a non-existent path.
The following line
msgname = os.path.expanduser(outfile) or ('/var/tmp/%s.bug' % package)
triggers an exception when os.path.expanduser is called with outfile=None
as its argument.
e.g., with .reportbugrc containing
reportbug_version "6.6.3"
mode standard
ui text
realname "john smith"
email "john.sm...@example.com"
mta "~/bin/mta-wrapper"
submitting bug reports fails with
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 2211, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1081, in main
return iface.user_interface()
File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 2203, in user_interface
self.options.envelopefrom)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/reportbug/submit.py", line 316, in
send_report
elif outfile or not ((mta and os.path.exists(mta)) or smtphost):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 261, in expanduser
if not path.startswith('~'):
because
- mta is true
- os.path.exists(mta) is false (tilde expansion is not performed before testing)
- smtphost is false
so the block is entered with outfile=None
