And a boo to reportbug for not wrapping the lines <strong>and<\/strong> failing to mention it. Either would have resulted in a nicer layout on the web page: I could have wrapped the lines myself, had I known this. Oh well, I&#8217;ll know next time.<\/p>\n<p>Also, despite picking &#8216;novice&#8217; mode in reportbug&#8217;s initial configuration, I was confused by the SMTP question &#8220;Do you have a &#8220;mail transport agent&#8221; (MTA) like Exim, Postfix or SSMTP configured on this computer to send mail to the Internet?&#8221; Since exim4 is installed by default, I picked the default (yes), and this resulted in my first <a href=\"http:\/\/bugs.debian.org\/cgi-bin\/bugreport.cgi?bug=489447\">report being lost<\/a>, a fact which I could only verify by looking at exim&#8217;s log (which a true novice probably couldn&#8217;t do). There was no error message, and even worse, reportbug claimed to have sent the report successfully when it had in fact not done so.<\/p>\n<p>But anyway, I was fortunate to spot the broken link on debian.org, as that was a perfect excuse for finally trying this bugreporting thingy.<span hidden class=\"__iawmlf-post-loop-links\" data-iawmlf-links=\"[{&quot;id&quot;:294,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/bugs.debian.org\\\/cgi-bin\\\/bugreport.cgi?bug=508377&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/web-wp.archive.org\\\/web\\\/20261005171413\\\/https:\\\/\\\/bugs.debian.org\\\/cgi-bin\\\/bugreport.cgi?bug=508377&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/bugs.debian.org\\\/cgi-bin\\\/bugreport.cgi?bug=508377&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-06 10:10:03&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:206},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-11 02:36:55&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:206},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-14 07:53:23&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:206},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-19 04:11:33&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:206}],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-19 04:11:33&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:206},&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:295,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/bugs.debian.org\\\/cgi-bin\\\/bugreport.cgi?bug=489447&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/web-wp.archive.org\\\/web\\\/20261005172940\\\/https:\\\/\\\/bugs.debian.org\\\/cgi-bin\\\/bugreport.cgi?bug=489447&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/bugs.debian.org\\\/cgi-bin\\\/bugreport.cgi?bug=489447&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-07 20:46:49&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:503},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-11 02:36:55&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:206},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-14 07:53:23&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:206},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-19 04:11:33&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:206}],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-19 04:11:33&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:206},&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;}]\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just filed my first Debian bug \u2014 yay!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3083,3094],"class_list":["post-2043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-applications","tag-bts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/nuudelisoppa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2043","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/nuudelisoppa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/nuudelisoppa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/nuudelisoppa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/nuudelisoppa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2043"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/nuudelisoppa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2043\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/nuudelisoppa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/nuudelisoppa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2043"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mummila.net\/nuudelisoppa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
