I installed reportbug in a clean chroot and tried this:
$ reportbug --template reportbug
Selected mail user agent cannot be found; exiting.
Can you still replicate this bug? I've just tried logging into my
pbuilder chroot, installing latest reportbug (+ to make it work: sed -i
's/MIN_USER_ID = 250/MIN_USER_ID = 0/' /usr/bin/reportbug) and
--template works as expected. Could it be your chroot had a config file
somewhere with a mua configured in it?
Oops, indeed. (Not exeactly in the chroot: I had /home bind-mounted.
I've been using reportbug --template in chroot for years, and somehow
never managed to trigger this behavior. So I was quite surprised to see
such an error message soon after a reportbug upgrade. Sorry for the
noise!)
So I'm turning this into a wishlist bug. Could reportbug be kind enough
to ignore MUA settings from configuration files if --template is being
used? Thanks!
