Here's what happens when I run as myself and via sudo: joe@wakko:~$ /usr/bin/querybts 644254 < /dev/tty Retrieving report #644254 from Debian bug tracking system... What do you want to do now? [N|x|o|r|b|e|q|?]? q Exiting. joe@wakko:~$ sudo /usr/bin/querybts 644254 < /dev/tty [sudo] password for joe: No protocol specified /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:57: GtkWarning: could not open display warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning) Retrieving report #644254 from Debian bug tracking system...

Here's what I have: joe@wakko:~$ sudo egrep -vn '^(#|$)' /etc/reportbug.conf /root/.reportbugrc ~/.reportbugrc /etc/reportbug.conf:15:submit /etc/reportbug.conf:32:query-bts /etc/reportbug.conf:38:cc /etc/reportbug.conf:41:config-files /etc/reportbug.conf:44:compress /etc/reportbug.conf:103:verify egrep: /root/.reportbugrc: No such file or directory /home/joe/.reportbugrc:3:reportbug_version "3.8" /home/joe/.reportbugrc:5:mode expert /home/joe/.reportbugrc:7:ui text /home/joe/.reportbugrc:11:realname "Joseph Nahmias" /home/joe/.reportbugrc:12:email "j...@nahmias.net" /home/joe/.reportbugrc:15:no-cc /home/joe/.reportbugrc:16:header "X-Debbugs-CC: j...@nahmias.net" /home/joe/.reportbugrc:17:smtphost reportbug.debian.org Also, another (perhaps related) oddity is that when invoked from apt-get dist-upgrade it doesn't seem to be in "listbugs mode" when it does this and I get a message that a particular command can't be run in standalone mode.
