Package: reportbug
Version: 7.1.7
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
When I wanted to report a bug against the udftools package using reportbug
the script failed, probably it's because of a character set problem with the
accent in maintainer's name. It is similar to bug #814454 but occurs at a different position.
Here's the output of the session:
---------------------------------------------------------------
eckhard at p4:/tmp/$ reportbug
Please enter the name of the package in which you have found a problem, or type 'other'
to report a more general problem. If you don't know what package the bug is in, please
contact debian-user at lists.debian.org for assistance.
