Package: reportbug
Version: 3.29.3
Severity: normal
Dear Debian Developers,
I was about to write a "Howto report bugs the Debian way", when I
stumbled over a bug in reportbug itself.
When I try to report a bug on reportbug itself from Etch (version
3.29.3, see above), it suggests that I upgrade to the version in Sid
(3.29.5) first. The output is:
Your version (3.29.3) of reportbug appears to be out of date.
The following newer release(s) are available in the Debian archive:
unstable: 3.29.5
Do you still want to file a report [y|N|q|?]?
Since an update/dist-upgrade from Etch doesn't offer this, I consider
this to be a bug in reportbug itself, right?
Thanks and kind regards,
wjl aka Wolfgang Lonien

Version: 3.31
I replicated this bug in etch (the same one used when this bug was
reported) and it doesn't apply anymore:
# reportbug --version
reportbug 3.31
# reportbug reportbug
