Just to avoid confusion, in this specific case there was no need at all to dist-upgrade. A simple apt-get upgrade would have pulled the correct version of reportbug. And since it has been mentioned, dist-upgrade does not break anything, if done correctly. I had a desktop which went from etch to wheezy, without a single reinstall, and several other machines which saw at least three different releases, again without a single reinstall. This is what people mean when they say that De??an is "rock-solid", "reliable", and "durable".
