Package: reportbug Version: 3.29.3 Severity: normal Tags: l10n
Hi! I have run reportbug --configure, and have answered what my real name was. I have expected reportbug to take my name, put it in the config file, and then when I report any bug, use my name. Apparently accented characters are not handled. What real name should be used for sending bug reports? [Nagy Gabor Peter] > NAGY Gábor Péter Which of your email addresses should be used when sending bug reports? [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do you have a "mail transport agent" (MTA) like Exim, Postfix or SSMTP configured on this computer? [Y|n|q|?]? Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1726, in ? main() File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 759, in main return iface.user_interface() File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 778, in user_interface offer_configuration(self.options) File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 461, in offer_configuration if email_name != def_realname: UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 6: ordinal not in range(128) We could argue if reportbug should accept accented characters for a name or not, but it should check the input and validate it, instead of giving me a traceback.
