thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the bugreport.

There is no way in the current configuration querybts would provide new
information. querybts only displays information and reportbug allows to
provide new information.
Reportbug and querybts share some libraries. That's why the message "x -
Provide extra information" is displayed. Some cases were not managed in
querybts and the use should be warned about it.
Here is a patch to solve this issue with "x" option, solving also an
issue with "o" option. The patch displays the last menu in querybts
again if "x" or "o" option is chosen, also warning the user these
options are not available using querybts directly.

Bye,
Carl Chenet
