- Common issues with reportbug:
- EXIM IS 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:
- - 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
- reportbug.debian.org directly (using 'reportbug --configure').
- - Alternatively, see /usr/share/doc/reportbug/README.Users for
- instructions on how to use GMail's SMTP server to submit reports.
- 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
- be configured to be used as the editor for your report, which you
- may find preferable.
- REPORTING: It is useful to include the full transcript of reportbug
- (with text ui) output, so we can see what it's trying to do and
- provide a faster and more precise response.
- GTK+ UI: There are some situation when the GTK+ stack crashes,
- reporting "Floating point exception" or GTK+ stack traces; those
- are bugs in GTK+ or misconfigurations (for example, using 'testing'
- suite can lead to such errors) on the current machine. Do not
- report bugs against reportbug in such situations but consult users
- support forums.
