After fixing #302103 (<http://bugs.debian.org/302103#39> for the patch), reportbug will prompt you as follows: Querying Debian BTS for reports on wnpp (source)... Unable to connect to Debian BTS; continue [y|N|?]? y You can then choose to continue and finally save the report to a file by choosing the option. q - Don't submit the bug report; instead, save it in a temporary file. > Would it be possible to consider moving the check as very first action? > > This is not actually a bug...more a little annoying issue and I can > certainly live without this being fixed if this involves too much code > changes.... We can close this bug if you feel that the above is an acceptable workaround. Do let me know. Cheers, Giridhar -- Y Giridhar Appaji Nag | http://www.appaji.net/
