[SOLVED] Reporting bug on neomutt (out-of-date package)

Hi all,

I would like to report a small bug on the neomutt package. As the bugtracker says PR is not allowed for out-of-date package, I'm posting here for more guidance.

The bug : in the example configuration file gpg.rc shipped with neomutt, the location of an executable (pgpewrap) should be changed on Archlinux.
See below for a patch.

Thanks !

Re: [SOLVED] Reporting bug on neomutt (out-of-date package)

The rule is that being out of date itself isn't a bug. If there's an actual problem with the current package, you can certainly open a ticket for that.

Make sure to search all tickets before opening a new one, though, I remember something about this already.

Re: [SOLVED] Reporting bug on neomutt (out-of-date package)

I see, thanks for the explanation. A bug report was indeed open, then closed as duplicate. I've sent a request to re-open-it.
