Hi Thanks for the report,
I guess the problem is solved in the new reportbug release, e.g here for reportbug package : Subject: reportbug: test Package: reportbug Version: 4.4 Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line *** test -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: DEBEMAIL="cha...@ohmytux.com" DEBFULLNAME="Carl Chenet" INTERFACE="text" [snip] Versions of packages reportbug suggests: pn debconf-utils <none> (no description available) ii debsums 2.0.44 verification of installed package pn dlocate <none> (no description available) ii exim4 4.69-9 metapackage to ease Exim MTA (v4) ii exim4-daemon-light [mail-tran 4.69-9 lightweight Exim MTA (v4) daemon ii file 5.00-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gnupg 1.4.9-4 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep pn python-gnome2-extras <none> (no description available) pn python-gtk2 <none> (no description available) pn python-urwid <none> (no description available) pn python-vte <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information This output was generated by reportbug running under a normal user.
