The problem is, as mentioned, interactive bug scripts which require a terminal for the user to answer questions. Yes, perhaps such bug scripts could be modified to use a default answer when reportbug isn't invoked from a terminal, as in the case of debian-bug, but whether that is feasible I'm not sure. Also, please note the patch I suggested for bug #422506, which is supposed to let debian-bug use Emacs' term mode to run bug scripts and should therefore also work with interactive scripts. I just tested it, and it appears to work well with Emacs 23 and the latest version of debian-bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
