Package: reportbug Version: 3.38 Severity: normal File: /usr/share/reportbug/reportbug.py Tags: patch
Hello, when I tried to file a bug report for a file not in a package (actually, it was debreaper after my own program crashed), reportbug ends in infinite recursion. This is because after nod finding the package with dlocate, itshould try again (with dpkg, i suppose). But reportbug forgets this and tries
again with dlocate, and again...
The corrected reportbug.py is attached.
The change is on line 134
(pipe, dlocate_used) = search_pipe(searchfilename, use_dlocate)
^^^^^^^^^^^
Regards
Jiri Palecek
