This is exactly what reportbug does, since very beginning -- once you tell it which package you're reporting bug against, it retrieves all necessary info from the running system, including versions of dependent packages and other stuff. So the only way to get a bugreport with dependent package versions but without version of the package in question is to manually delete package version from the bugreport before sending it. >> What does "fails" mean?

Do you mean https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2014/11/msg01432.html ? If yes, I still fail to see the actual problem - it has been said that "boot fails", but how it fails? >> Please also show complete qemu command line, ... > > See above. > >> This works for me as well, with a reasonable floppy image. >> Tagging as 'moreinfo unreproducible'. > > No problem with an image file.

None of my current machines has real floppy drive, and while I do have an old floppy drive around, there's no machine where it is possible to connect this drive to -- no machine has a floppy controller. Yes, I did try to boot a system from a real diskette in qemu-kvm 1.1 at a time when we tried to release wheezy. It was windows 95 boot floppy. I see no reason to test other OSes booting from floppy as long as at least one works, and I don't have other system boot floppies anyway. But qemu-kvm 1.1 definitely worked with real ms-win 95 boot floppy. Note it is qemu-kvm (aka /usr/bin/kvm), not qemu-system-i386 -- the latter is definitely the less tested from the x86 qemu emilators. Please try current qemu-system - either x86_64 or i386. It is available in backports, of version 2.1. If that one does not work too (again, please specify how exactly it does not work!), we'll see what can be done.
