A small thing but maybe should be looked at. While selecting the package installation-guide in reportbug a list popups and i select installation-guide-amd64. In the next step a message pops up: A package names 'installation-guide-amd64' does not appear to be installed. Do you want to search for a similar-looking filename..' And after that, (i select no) reportbug asks to supply the version of the package. i press (blank OK) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
