Did you run the command? `bts` is in package `devscripts`. Normally mutt
opens automatically, but you can exit with `q` right away. The
downloaded mbox (mail box) files is stored under
`~/.devscripts_cache/bts/`.

I know. And I did not receive your message. I had to check the Web page
manually to see if there was an answer.

I also get these errors with `initscripts` 2.88dsf-22.1 installed. Only
`sysv-rc` is currently not configured on this system.
