Package: reportbug Version: 7.5.2 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
When I run "reportbug -G" ("-G" to use the Gnus MUA), it starts up emacs
with a buffer containing the message, but it is in text-mode and not in
message-mode as one would expect. Here is the relevant part of the
*Messages* buffer:
Loading /usr/share/reportbug/reportbug.el (source)...done
Starting new Ispell process aspell with default dictionary...
let: Symbol’s function definition is void: message-fetch-field
As you can see, there is no function "message-fetch-field". It should
instead be "mail-fetch-field". A workaround is to put
(defalias 'message-fetch-field 'mail-fetch-field
"Compatibility with reportbug(1)")
in your ~/.emacs which is what I did, and I am sending this with Gnus
now. However, the problem should really be corrected in
/usr/share/reportbug/reportbug.el as in the following patch:
