Description-en: 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 many mail user agents.
* 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.
.
Bug reporting in Debian relies on email; reportbug can use a local
mail transport agent (like exim or sendmail), submit directly through
an external mail server, or pass messages to an installed mail user
agent (e.g., mutt) for submission.
.
This package also includes the "querybts" script for browsing the
Debian bug tracking system.
.
REPORTBUG IS MEANT FOR UBUNTU DEVELOPERS TO FORWARD BUGS TO DEBIAN.
IF YOU WANT TO REPORT A BUG IN UBUNTU, PLEASE USE "ubuntu-bug"
INSTEAD (from the "apport" package).
