[Reportbug-maint] Bug#863513: reportbug: No GUI; only '--ui=text'

[Diego A. Casas Toro]

Package: reportbug
Version: 7.1.6
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to start reportbug for the first time in KDE Plasma 5, but it did not start. 
I thought it was a problem with the '.desktop' file asociated with the menu entry. 
Then I realized that reportbug was starting in the background, without gtk2 GUI.

I tried to start reportbug from Konsole using '--ui=gtk2', but it starts in text mode 
and shows 'Ignored bogus setting for --ui: gtk'. I don't understand why reportbug shows
"Ignored bogus setting" when the man entry says "Valid options are text, urwid, and gtk2".

I realized that the autocompletion give these options: "gnome newt text", but gnome 
and newt cause the same output: 'Ignored bogus setting for --ui'. The bug is the same 
with '--interface' and '-u'.

I updated and reinstalled reportbug, but I couldn't solve the problem. Actually, I'm 
reporting this bug from command line.

Even if the man entry is wrong, and gnome replaces gtk2 option, reportbug should start 
using GUI. So, to conclude, there are two problems: the man entry is incorrect, and the 
reportbug program has a missing GUI.
