Reportbug doesn't report bugs in the way ubuntu preferres it

[Konstantin]

Binary package hint: reportbug

After reporting a couple of bugs with reportbug someone pointed out to me that the preferred way to report bugs is via launchpad. Reportbug sould be updated to properly file its reports to launchpad.

Please update your system. the reportbug entry in menu brings you to launchpad.net in dapper. If you are in breezy please let us know after updating you system if it still points you to bugzilla. Thank you for your report on this bug.

I'm using dapper and just checked that all updates are installed. However,
reportbug still seems to be the old one that sends mails to ubuntu-users - of
course I didn't want to file a complete bugreport in order to check it really
does. But as I understand you, you didn't want change the reportbug-program
itself, but only the menuentry so reportbug doesn't get used anymore.
(Reportbug's version: 3.18ubuntu1).

The menuentry still points to the reportbug-script. I doublechecked
with /usr/share/menu/reportbug.

The content of /usr/share/menu/reportbug is:
-----
?package(reportbug):needs="text" section="Apps/System" \
  title="reportbug" command="/usr/bin/reportbug --exit-prompt" \
  hints="Bug reporting"
-----

BTW: I'm using WindowMaker, so I have no idea if the menu was different in
gnome, Kde, etc.

BTW2: I never used reportbug from the menu before. I always called it from the
commandline directly. So you should make an update that behaves well when you
type "reportbug" on the commandline.

Cheers,
Konstantin

The problem with the reportbug command not pointing to launchpad was originally reported in Bug 7839

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

marked as dup of bug 7839 as it seems to be the same complaint. Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been
reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report
any further bugs which you find.
