Package: reportbug Version: 7.1.6 Severity: wishlist Hello,
suppose I want to report a bug on a GUI software, but the window title says "Video Player": what package name should I use? This "simple" one-liner lets you pick a window and outputs its package name to stdout: dpkg -S $(readlink /proc/$(xwininfo -wm|sed -nre 's/.+Process id: ([0-9]+).+/\1/p')/exe) | cut -d: -f1 Can you add it to reportbug, at least in its GUI interface? Like, when it asks for the package name, there could be a button saying something like "select on screen" that does that. Today when showing people how to report bugs, the issue came out, and it turns out that technically it could be easily solvable.
