reportbug

Not Rated
Description
reportbug is a tool designed to make the reporting of bugs in Debian and derived distributions relatively painless. Its features include:

* Integration with mutt 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.
