Package: reportbug
Version: 4.12.2
Severity: minor
Tags: sid patch
When I run reportbug --configure here it shows a nice gtk frontend, if I follow
the following steps:
* Reportbug is a tool .... press continue
* select standard ... continue
* gtk2 interface ... continue
* reportbug direct internet connection ... yes
* enter real name ... continue
* enter e-mail ... continue
* Do you have a MTA prompt ... select NO
At this point I have a window with a label and a textbox and the label reads:
"Just press ENTER if ou don't have one or don't know" and an empty textbox
this is obviously the 'enter your smtp server' prompt. If we look at
/usr/bin/reportbug lines 583 till 590:
ewrite('Please enter the name of your SMTP host. Usually it\'s called
'
'something like "mail.example.org" or "smtp.example.org". '
'If you need to use a different port than default, use the '
'<host>:<port> alternative format.\n\n')
smtphost = ui.get_string(
'Just press ENTER if you don\'t have one or don\'t know.',
options=opts, empty_ok=True, force_prompt=True)
if smtphost:
The ui.get_string() functions properly but the ewrite never appears. So I just
changed this block to:
smtphost = ui.get_string(
'Please enter the name of your SMTP host. Usually it\'s called '
'something like "mail.example.org" or "smtp.example.org". '
'If you need to use a different port than default, use the '
'<host>:<port> alternative format.\n\n'
'Just press ENTER if you don\'t have one or don\'t know.',
options=opts, empty_ok=True, force_prompt=True)
if smtphost:
which works in gtk mode.
