the difference might seem tricky but it's important: you use "--bugnumber=739581" and then "-N 739581" which misses the = sign. for how arguments parsing works, the --bugnumber option must not receive the value of the bug report but the bug number must be passed as an argument to the command, such as: reportbug --bugnumber 739581 I'm going to update the manpage to mark it explicitly (even if it's still not displayed as --bugreport=NNN in the manpage).
