Package: reportbug Version: 12.0.0 Severity: normal The reportbug(1) man page says:
-V VERSION, --package-version=VERSION Specify the version of the package the problem was found in. This is probably most useful if you are reporting a bug in a package that is not installable or installed on a different system. and "reportbug --help" outputs -V PKGVERSION, --package-version=PKGVERSION specify the version number for the package But when I use this option, e.g. reportbug -V 20230707 ca-certificates-java reportbug -V 13 reportbug reportbug --package-version=13 reportbug the version is not put in the bug report. Note that I get the question "Please enter the version of the package this report applies to (blank OK)" which I leave blank as I have already provided the version via the -V / --package-version option. BTW, asking this question is useless for this reason. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: EDITOR="/home/vinc17/bin/eclient" PAGER="less -Lis" VISUAL="/home/vinc17/bin/eclient" EMAIL="vinc...@vinc17.net" INTERFACE="text" ** /home/vinc17/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "2.10" mode advanced ui text realname "Vincent Lefevre" email "vinc...@vinc17.net" mua mutt cc timeout 20 -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') merged-usr: no Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 2.6.1 ii python3 3.11.4-5 ii python3-reportbug 12.0.0 ii sensible-utils 0.0.20 reportbug recommends no packages.
