[Reportbug-maint] Bug#694161: reportbug: fails to add patch tag to existing bug (plus one cosmetic issue)

[Thorsten Glaser]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.4.3
Severity: normal

Hi,

I just had wanted to report a bug to dput, found out it already
existed (#664685) and then “provided extra information”, adding
text, an attachment, and a “patch” tag.

Now reportbug sent a message but failed to tell the BTS to add
that tag. I just composed a message to control@ to do that manually
now, because I can’t recall the exact syntax to do that within
the mail, which is why I chose to use the 'add a tag' option
reportbug offered me in the first place.


Plus, one cosmetic issue: if you have Multi-Arch with more than
two architectures (like this box: amd64 primary, i386+m68k) then
the “Foreign Architectures” field below contains newlines, which
is not nice; these should be spaces instead.
