NAME
       querybts - view outstanding bug reports on a debbugs server

SYNOPSIS
       querybts [options] <package | number [number2]...>

DESCRIPTION
       querybts	 is designed to provide a convenient and easy-to-use interface
       to the Debbugs bug tracking system, as used by Debian and several other
       projects.   You	can  specify a package name or one or more report num‐
       bers.

OPTIONS
       The program follows the	usual  GNU  command  line  syntax,  with  long
       options	starting  with	two  dashes  (`--').  A summary of options are
       included below.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       --version
	      Show the version of querybts and exit.

       -A, --archive
	      Browse  archived	bugs  instead  of  current  reports.   Debbugs
	      servers clear out closed reports after 28 days and place them in
	      a separate archive; this option  allows  those  older,  resolved
	      reports  to be viewed (at least for servers that maintain an ar‐
	      chive).

       -B SYSTEM, --bts=SYSTEM
	      Instead of the Debian bug server, use the	 server	 specified  by
	      SYSTEM.	Valid  options are default and debian but check --help
	      for an updated list.

       -b, --buglist
	      Display a bugs list for the given package.

       --latest-first
	      Display the bug reports list sorted and with the latest  reports
	      at the top.

       --mbox-reader-cmd=MBOX_READER_CMD
	      Specify a command to open the bug reports mbox file. You can use
	      %s to substitute the mbox file to be used, and %%	 to  insert  a
	      literal  percent sign. If no %s is specified, the mbox file name
	      is supplied at the end of the argument list.

       -m, --mbox
	      Retrieve the given bug number(s) or package name(s) as a mailbox
	      file,  instead of viewing it. It will be dumped to standard out‐
	      put.

       --proxy=PROXY, --http_proxy=PROXY
	      Specify the WWW proxy server to use to handle the queries to the
	      bug tracking system.  You should only need this parameter if you
	      are behind a firewall.

       -s, --source
	      Query on source packages, rather than binary packages.

       --timeout=SECONDS
	      Specify the network timeout, the number of seconds to wait for a
	      resource	to respond. If nothing is specified, a default timeout
	      of 1 minute is selected.

	      In case of a network error, there are chances it's due to a  too
	      low  timeout:  try  passing  the	--timeout option with a higher
	      value than default.

       -u INTERFACE, --ui=INTERFACE, --interface=INTERFACE
	      Specify the user interface to  use.   Valid  options  are	 text,
	      urwid,  gtk2;  default is taken from the reportbug configuration
	      files.

       -w, --web
	      Launch a web browser to view bug reports, instead of  using  the
	      internal	interface.   This will also allow you to see the whole
	      discussion about a particular bug at once, instead of  one  mes‐
	      sage at a time as querybts would do.  (Only the first bug number
	      on the command line will be opened.)

CONFIGURATION FILES
       querybts supports a simple run control file syntax.  Commands are  read
       from  /etc/reportbug.conf  and  $HOME/.reportbugrc with commands in the
       latter overriding those in the former.

       Commands are not case sensitive, and currently take 0  or  1  argument;
       arguments containing whitespace must be enclosed in quotes.

       Any line starting with # is taken to be a comment and will be ignored.

       Generally,  options  corresponding to the long options for querybts are
       supported, without leading -- sequences.	 See the default  /etc/report‐
       bug.conf	 for  all  acceptable  options	and  reportbug.conf(5) for all
       acceptable options and detailed information.

       Options only supported by reportbug will be silently ignored.

ENVIRONMENT
       BROWSER
	      Colon-separated list of web browsers to try; they will be	 tried
	      in  order, until one succeeds.  You can use %s to substitute the
	      URL to be used, and %% to insert a literal percent sign.	If  no
	      %s is specified, the URL will be supplied as a normal argument.

       Provides the address of a proxy server to handle the BTS query.	This
	      should  be  a  valid  http URL for a proxy server, including any
	      required port number (simply specifying a hostname, or  omitting
	      a port other than 80, WILL NOT WORK).
