But it's probably serious because it doesn't work on a large set of packages provided by Debian... i.e. it must be fixed before release and the sooner the better. More and more bugs are badly reported due to this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668146 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668177 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668230 > this is debsums replying, so at least you should have filed the bug > against that: reportbug here is just a interface to it. But the interface involves passing a package name. And the package name must be arch qualified when the package is Multi-Arch: same. It can be argued that the mistake is made by the user... but it would be wise for reportbug to detect it and let the user choose the right variant ASAP. In all cases, the architecture qualifier must be stripped before being sent to the BTS. reportbug also breaks when you call it with a file owned by a multi-arch: same package. ------ $ reportbug /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 Finding package for '/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6'...
