Now that reportbug 6.x is working well and reportbug 7.x is broken with GUI, wouldn't it be better if we just let reportbug 6 enter stretch? I took a try and the error message is broken as well. It suggests that the user should install python-vte (Python 2 version!), which is misleading and useless. Also there is no such a package like "python3-vte". Also, I didn't find a way to start a ncurses frontend. Neither the --help message nor the man page mentioned it. All I have is the fallback to "text" frontend. In short I don't think the current reportbug 7 is suitable for stretch. -- Sincerely, Boyuan Yang
