reportbug를 써서 데비안 버그를 보고하는 방법

데비안에서 우리는 reportbug 프로그램을 써서 버그를 보고하는 것을 강력히 권합니다.

reportbug는 기본으로 대부분의 시스템에 설치됩니다. 그것이 가능하지 않아면, 패키지 관리 도구를 써서 설치할 수 있습니다.

reportbug는 메뉴의 시스템 섹션 또는 명령행에서 reportbug를 실행하여 시작할 수 있습니다.

버그 리포팅 절차를 단계적으로 알려줄 겁니다.

reportbug의 대화형 프롬프트에서 해결할 수 없는 질문이 있으면, 아래 문서의 나머지 부분을 참조하거나 데비안 사용자 메일링 리스트에 문의할 수 있습니다.

이메일을 사용하여 Debian에서 버그를 보고하는 방법(및 고급 reportbug 사용)

버그 보고 전에 주의할 중요한 것

버그 리포트가 무슨 패키지에 있나요?

버그 보고서가 어떤 패키지에 대해 제출되어야 하는지 알아야 합니다. 이 정보를 찾는 방법에 대한 자세한 내용은 이 예를 보세오. (이 정보를 사용하여 버그 보고서가 이미 제출되었는지 확인합니다.)

버그리포트를 어느 패키지에 할 지 모르면, 이메일을 데비안 사용자 메일링 리스트에 보내서 조언을 요청하세요.

만약 당신의 문제가 단지 하나의 패키지가 아니라 일부 일반적인 데비안 서비스와 관련이 있다면, 대신 우리에게 메시지를 전달하는 데 사용할 수 있는 몇 개의 pseudo-packages유사 패키지 또는 심지어 mailing lists메일링 리스트가 있습니다.

버그 리포트가 이미 제출되었나요?

You should check to see if your bug report has already been filed before submitting it. You can see which bugs have been filed in a specific package using the package option of the bug search form. If there is an existing bug report #<number>, you should submit your comments by sending e-mail to <number>@bugs.debian.org instead of reporting a new bug.

여러 버그에 대해 여러 보고서 보내기

Please don't report multiple unrelated bugs — especially ones in different packages — in a single bug report.

버그를 업스트림에 보내지 마세요

만약 당신이 데비안에서 버그를 제출한다면, 그 버그가 데비안에만 존재할 가능성이 있기 때문에, 당신 자신이 업스트림 소프트웨어 관리자에게 복사본을 보내지 마세요. 필요한 경우 패키지의 관리자가 버그를 업스트림으로 전달합니다

e-mail 통해 버그 리포트 보내기

You can report bugs in Debian by sending an e-mail to [email protected] with a special format described below. reportbug (see above) will properly format the e-mails for you; please use it!

Headers

Like any e-mail you should include a clear, descriptive Subject line in your main mail header. The subject you give will be used as the initial bug title in the tracking system, so please try to make it informative!

If you'd like to send a copy of your bug report to additional recipients (such as mailing lists), you shouldn't use the usual e-mail headers, but a different method, described below.

Pseudo-headers

The first part of the bug report are the pseudo-headers which contain information about what package and version your bug report applies to. The first line of the message body has to include a pseudo-header. It should say:

Package: <packagename>

Replace <packagename> with the name of the package which has the bug.

The second line of the message should say:

Version: <packageversion>

Replace <packageversion> with the version of the package. Please don't include any text here other than the version itself, as the bug tracking system relies on this field to work out which releases are affected by the bug.

You need to supply a correct Package line in the pseudo-header in order for the bug tracking system to deliver the message to the package's maintainer. See this example for information on how to find this information.

For other valid pseudo-headers, see Additional pseudo-headers

The body of the report

Please include in your report:

Include any detail that seems relevant — you are in very little danger of making your report too long by including too much information. If they are small, please include in your report any files you were using to reproduce the problem. (If they are large, consider making them available on a publicly available website if possible.)

For more advice on how to help the developers solve your problem, please read How to Report Bugs Effectively.

버그 리포트 예시

A bug report with header and pseudo-header looks something like this:

  To: [email protected]
  From: [email protected]
  Subject: Hello says `goodbye'

  Package: hello
  Version: 1.3-16

  When I invoke `hello' without arguments from an ordinary shell
  prompt it prints `goodbye', rather than the expected `hello, world'.
  Here is a transcript:

  $ hello
  goodbye
  $ /usr/bin/hello
  goodbye
  $

  I suggest that the output string, in hello.c, be corrected.

  I am using Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, kernel 2.2.17-pre-patch-13
  and libc6 2.1.3-10.

버그 리포트 사본을 다른 주소에 보내기

Sometimes it is necessary to send a copy of a bug report to somewhere else besides debian-bugs-dist and the package maintainer, which is where they are normally sent.

You could do this by CC'ing your bug report to the other address(es), but then the other copies would not have the bug report number put in the Reply-To field and the Subject line. When the recipients reply they will probably preserve the [email protected] entry in the header and have their message filed as a new bug report. This leads to many duplicated reports.

The right way to do this is to use the X-Debbugs-CC header. Add a line like this to your message's mail header:

 X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected]

This will cause the bug tracking system to send a copy of your report to the address(es) in the X-Debbugs-CC line as well as to debian-bugs-dist.

If you want to send copies to more than one address, add them comma-separated in only one X-Debbugs-CC line.

Avoid sending such copies to the addresses of other bug reports, as they will be caught by the checks that prevent mail loops. There is relatively little point in using X-Debbugs-CC for this anyway, as the bug number added by that mechanism will just be replaced by a new one; use an ordinary CC header instead.

This feature can often be combined usefully with mailing quiet — see below.

Additional Pseudoheaders

Severity levels

If a report is of a particularly serious bug, or is merely a feature request, you can set the severity level of the bug as you report it. This is not required however, and the package maintainer will assign an appropriate severity level to your report even if you do not (or pick the wrong severity).

To assign a severity level, put a line like this one in the pseudo-header:

Severity: <severity>

Replace <severity> with one of the available severity levels, as described in the advanced documentation.

Assigning tags

You can set tags on a bug as you are reporting it. For example, if you are including a patch with your bug report, you may wish to set the patch tag. This is not required, however, and the developers will set tags on your report as and when it is appropriate.

To set tags, put a line like this one in the pseudo-header:

Tags: <tags>

Replace <tags> with one or more of the available tags, as described in the advanced documentation. Separate multiple tags with commas, spaces, or both.

User: <username>
Usertags: <usertags>

Replace <usertags> with one or more usertags. Separate multiple tags with commas, spaces, or both. If you specify a <username>, that user's tags will be set. Otherwise, the e-mail address of the sender will be used as the username.

You can set usertags for multiple users at bug submission time by including multiple User pseudo-headers; each Usertags pseudo-header sets the usertags for the preceding User pseudo-header. This is especially useful for setting usertags for a team with multiple users, setting usertags for multiple teams, or setting the architecture usertags for bugs affecting multiple architectures. 

User: <first-username>
Usertags: <first-username usertags>
User: <second-username>
Usertags: <second-username usertags>

Setting Forwarded

Forwarded: [email protected]

will mark the newly submitted bug as forwarded to [email protected]. See Recording that you have passed on a bug report in the developers' documentation for details.

Claiming ownership

Owner: [email protected]

will indicate that [email protected] is now responsible for fixing this bug. See Changing bug ownership in the developers' documentation for details.

Source Package

Source: foopackage

the equivalent of Package: for bugs present in the source package of foopackage; for most bugs in most packages you don't want to use this option.

Control Commands

Control: control commands

Allows for any of the commands which must be sent to [email protected] to work when sent to [email protected] or [email protected]. -1 initially refers to the current bug (that is, the bug created by a mail to submit@ or the bug messaged with nnn@). Please see the server control documentation for more information on the control commands which are valid.

For example, the following pseudoheader in a message sent to [email protected]:

Control: retitle -1 this is the title
Control: severity -1 normal
Control: summary -1 0
Control: forwarded -1 https://bugs.debian.org/nnn

would cause 12345 to be retitled, its severity changed, summary set, and marked as forwarded.

X-Debbugs- headers

Finally, if your MUA doesn't allow you to edit the headers, you can set the various X-Debbugs- headers in the pseudo-headers.

추가 정보

Different submission addresses (minor or mass bug reports)

If a bug report is minor, for example, a documentation typo or a trivial build problem, please adjust the severity appropriately and send it to [email protected] instead of [email protected]. maintonly will forward the report to the package maintainer only, it won't forward it to the BTS mailing lists.

If you're submitting many reports at once, you should definitely use [email protected] so that you don't cause too much redundant traffic on the BTS mailing lists. Before submitting many similar bugs you may also want to post a summary on debian-bugs-dist.

If wish to report a bug to the bug tracking system that's already been sent to the maintainer, you can use [email protected]. Bugs sent to [email protected] will not be forwarded anywhere, only filed.

When you use different submission addresses, the bug tracking system will set the Reply-To of any forwarded message so that the replies will by default be processed in the same way as the original report. That means that, for example, replies to maintonly will go to nnn[email protected] instead of nnn@bugs.debian.org, unless of course one overrides this manually.

Acknowledgements

Normally, the bug tracking system will return an acknowledgement to you by e-mail when you report a new bug or submit additional information to an existing bug. If you want to suppress this acknowledgement, include an X-Debbugs-No-Ack header or pseudoheader in your e-mail (the contents of this header do not matter). If you report a new bug with this header, you will need to check the web interface yourself to find the bug number.

Note that this header will not suppress acknowledgements from the [email protected] mailserver, since those acknowledgements may contain error messages which should be read and acted upon.

Spamfighting and missing mail

The bug tracking system implements a rather extensive set of rules designed to make sure that spam does not make it through the BTS. While we try to minimize the number of false positives, they do occur. If you suspect your mail has triggered a false positive, feel free to contact [email protected] for assistance. Another common cause of mail not making it through to the BTS is utilizing addresses which match procmail's FROM_DAEMON, which includes mail from addresses like [email protected]. If you suspect your mail matches FROM_DAEMON, see procmailrc(5) to verify, and then resend the mail using an address which does not match FROM_DAEMON.

알려지지 않은 패키지에 버그 리포트

If the bug tracking system doesn't know who the maintainer of the relevant package is it will forward the report to debian-bugs-dist even if maintonly was used.

When sending to [email protected] or nnn[email protected] you should make sure that the bug report is assigned to the right package, by putting a correct Package at the top of an original submission of a report, or by using the [email protected] service to (re)assign the report appropriately.

Using dpkg to find the package and version for the report

When using reportbug to report a bug in a command, say grep, the following will automatically select the right package and let you write the report right away: reportbug --file $(which grep)

You can also find out which package installed it by using dpkg --search. You can find out which version of a package you have installed by using dpkg --list or dpkg --status.

For example:

$ which apt-get
/usr/bin/apt-get
$ type apt-get
apt-get is /usr/bin/apt-get
$ dpkg --search /usr/bin/apt-get
apt: /usr/bin/apt-get
$ dpkg --list apt

다른 쓸모 있는 명령 및 패키지

The querybts tool, available from the same package as reportbug, provides a convenient text-based interface to the bug tracking system.

Emacs users can also use the debian-bug command provided by the debian-el package. When called with M-x debian-bug, it will ask for all necessary information in a similar way to reportbug.
