You're not right. I've reported bug from 5.0.8 machine for 6.0.3 system which doesn't have correct setup for reportbug to send anything correctly. >> $ sudo aptitude install svn-buildpackage > > Then use aptitude to find out why xulrunner is necessary. > > This has nothing to do with svn-buildpackage.
