The situation that I was experiencing was seg fault or FP exception during execution of reportbug with my report never being transmitted. I discovered the problem when I was trying to report a wish that others might consider trivial, and I have not actually found time to revisit reporting it. I realized that some day I might actually need help on something that was important to me, and I should prepare for that day. People have different perceptions of color. For me, the standard Debian choices for ls, mutt, and aptitude, don't really work. Without some adjustments in gnome-terminal preferences, I can not read much important detail on the screen at all. And the changes needed are different for each of the three. so I have four gnome-terminal profiles, Default, aptitude, ls, and mutt. Sometimes I pipe ls output through less just to quickly get rid of the coloring. And, yes, it would be silly for me to advocate that others adopt my color perception system.
