Please file a bug report. One of the best ways to do this is with the "reportbug" package and command of the same name. One way to install reportbug is with "apt-get"; for example: # apt-get install reportbug The "reportbug" command has a few different modes that cater to different levels of user expertise. If this message has contained a lot of jargon that is unfamiliar to you, you likely want to use reportbug's "novice" mode; here's one way to do that. $ reportbug --mode=novice Please enter the name of the package in which you have found a problem, or type 'other' to report a more general problem. > If you're more sophisticated, or if you are not using the released version of Debian ("stable"), but instead Debian "testing" or "unstable", you should use reportbug's standard mode. $ reportbug Please enter the name of the package in which you have found a problem, or type 'other' to report a more general problem. > The reportbug command is extensively documented in its usage message and manual page. Commands to view these pieces of documentation are: $ reportbug --help | more $ man reportbug (The output of the above commands has been omitted from this message.)
