Description: reports bugs in the Debian distribution
reportbug is a tool designed to make the reporting of bugs in Debian
and derived distributions relatively painless. Its features include:
.
* Integration with the mutt, af, and mh/nmh mail readers.
* Access to outstanding bug reports to make it easier to identify
whether problems have already been reported.
* Automatic checking for newer versions of packages.
* Optional automatic verification of integrity of packages via debsums.
* Support for following-up on outstanding reports.
* Optional PGP/GnuPG integration.
.
reportbug is designed to be used on systems with an installed mail
transport agent, like exim or sendmail; however, you can edit the
configuration file and send reports using any available mail server.
.
This package also includes the "querybts" script for browsing the
Debian bug tracking system.

Origin: Ubuntu
--------------------
I suggest a note be added that states "in ubuntu the default behaviour is to
email ubuntu-users mailing list" (as per the man page) and not debian.

When reportbug is run as root the following appears (after you answer a few

CONFIGURED FOR LOCAL DELIVERY: In Debian 4.0 (etch) and later,
exim4 is configured by default to only deliver email to addresses
on your system. YOUR BUG REPORTS WILL NOT ARRIVE AT THE BUG
TRACKING SYSTEM UNLESS YOU FOLLOW ONE OF THE FOLLOWING STEPS, either:
- Reconfigure exim (using 'dpkg-reconfigure -plow exim4') to send
mail to the Internet directly or via a smarthost.
- Configure reportbug to deliver mail to your ISP's smarthost or
bugs.debian.org directly (using 'reportbug --configure').
EMAIL ADDRESS SETTING: See the manual page reportbug(1) for how to set
your email address (i.e. the address that appears in the "From:"
header), if reportbug is unable to correctly figure it out for you.
Note that some mail systems will further rewrite the address
displayed by reportbug when it starts.
EDITORS: See the manual page reportbug(1) for how to choose an editor.
You probably will want to have this setting for other tools as
well. As an alternative, some mail programs, such as "mutt", can

However, this is not a debian 4.0 system. I am not sure what the behavior of
ubuntu is, but if an ubuntu version or versions could be shown instead if the
configuration setup described at 1 (see above) re exim applies. Oh and i know
you should not be running reportbug as root ^^ .
