#176910 — Multiple reportbug failure reports

Hi.. This is just an observation. I already had 3 half finished drafts
to three different threads when a fourth instance of reportbug failure
just popped up, as well. Here they are in no particular order:

1) Re: reportbug and remapped "edit"; 2017.01.12 (consensus of two
individuals momentarily pondering whether thread's subject matter
caused reportbug failure)
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/01/msg00454.html

2) Dependency problem with virtualbox-guest-x11; 2017.01.10 (reportbug
crashing unrelated to thread's subject matter)
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/01/msg00377.html

3) Re: Re: iio-sensor-proxy fills my syslog on debian testing;
2017.01.22 (reportbug crashing unrelated to thread's subject matter)
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/01/msg00751.html

4) Errors were encountered while processing python3.5 etc; 2017.01.21
(OP suspects python3.5* upgrade killed reportbug, but maybe not k/t
the three other instances above?)
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/01/msg00723.html

A critical malfunction of the otherwise ever increasingly user
friendly reportbug is a huge, nasty disruption in the forward motion
of successful Debian maintenance and releases. The catch-22 is that
Debian users need... reportbug... to report an apparent bug with....
reportbug. :)

Just lurking out loud... :)

Hi Cindy

Thanks for the compilation. Tho Python3.5 complaint is mine. Since 
reportbug is a python package, I will bet that python is the problem. I 
have filed a bug report by email. I t is #852163. I traced the problem 
back to the python3.5-minimal package. Hopefully the fix will come soon. 
It is obvious that this problem is causing all kinds of glitches. Is it 
all with stretch users or all versions I wonder. I've been doing some 
development work with python of late and have had my desktop freeze up 
periodically. I thought it was my development environment. Now I think 
it all may be due to the python problem.

Regards

Gary R.

I am sure I remember seeing on this distribution list recently a fair 
number of reports that reportbug in >Jessie is currently broken...

(I thankfully have not had occasion to use it recently, but as I 
understand it reportbug in Jessie is OK)

The issue seems to be known and hopefully someone is working on it...

Mark

Reportbug is just a tool that makes it "easy" to report a bug. It is a
very useful tool but by no means the only option to report bugs. For
example,  you can report bugs by sending an e-mail to
submit@bugs.debian.org with a special format. See
https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting for more details.
