Bug Description
Binary package hint: reportbug
When the menu-based interface is chosen in reportbug, but it fails and falls back to the text interface, it forgets the bts option.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Install reportbug through Synaptic.
2) Open a terminal and execute "reportbug --bts=debian".
3) Select mode novice.
4) Select interface 2 (menu-based console interface).
5) Enter an e-mail address.
6) Enter an SMTP host.
7) Enter a user name. The following output appears and ends the program:
Default preferences file written. To reconfigure, re-run reportbug with the "--configure" option.
*** Unable to import urwid interface: Please install the python-urwid package to use this
interface. Falling back to text interface.
*** ERROR: "Ubuntu" BTS is currently unsupported. Please use "ubuntu-bug" (from the apport
package) for reporting bugs in Ubuntu. You can report bugs to Debian by using bts=debian (see
reportbug(1)).
So the error message suggests using bts=debian, although I provided that option when I started reportbug.
Ubuntu release: 8.04 (gNewSense) (the same happens in 9.04)
Package version: 3.39ubuntu3.1
