Dear everybody,
I have some trouble reporting a bug on the current xserver in testing using
reportbug or reportbug-ng, in fact because I encouter a problem with
reportbug itself. Everything goes well until at the end reportbug wants
to send an email somehow. Then I get
Report will be sent to "Debian Bug Tracking System" <sub...@bugs.debian.org>
Submit this report on xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (e to edit)
[Y|n|a|c|e|i|l|m|p|q|d|t|s|?]? y
Connecting to smtp via SMTP...
SMTP send failure: [Errno -2] Name or service not known.
Do you want to retry (or else save the
report and exit)? [Y|n|q|?]? n
My guess is that reportbug wants to contact a local sendmail or
sendmail-replacement which I do not have installed. I have a direct
connection to the internet, no firewall configured in my router,
I can ping bugs.debian.org and connect to port 25 without
problems using netcat or telnet. In an attempt to change the
reportbug behavior, I have modified the configuration in /etc/reportbug
# Use this to enable the internal MTA (bypassing /usr/sbin/sendmail)
smtphost localhost
#
# You can also specify a port other than 25
# smtphost mail.example.com:2525
Just to be clear: I checked both with this line enabled and
commented out, also the setting 'smtphost bugs.debian.org' will
not work. 'reportbug' is the version that I get from the testing
archive (6.4.3).
Can anybody enlighten me?
