One very good way to file bugs with the Debian Bug Tracking System is to use the "reportbug" package and command of the same name. A very nice feature of reportbug is that, if the machine where you run it has network access to the World Wide Web, it can query the Debian Bug Tracking System and show you existing reports. This reduces the chance that you'll file a duplicate report, and offers you the option of adding follow-up information to an existing bug report. This is especially valuable if you have unique information to add to an existing report, because this way information relevant to the problem is gathered together in one place as opposed to being scattered among multiple, duplicate bug reports where some facts may be overlooked by the package maintainers. The reportbug program also does a lot of automatic information-gathering that helps package maintainers to understand your system configuration, and also ensures that your message to the Debian Bug Tracking System is well-formed so that it is processed correctly by the automated tools that manage the reports. (If you've ever gotten a "bounce" message from the Debian Bug Tracking System that tells you your message couldn't be processed, you might appreciate this latter feature.) Therefore, I strongly urge you to give "reportbug" a try as your primary bug reporting tool for the Debian System, and try filing your report again. One way to install reportbug is with "apt-get"; for example: # apt-get install reportbug The "reportbug" command has a few different modes that cater to different levels of user expertise. If this message has contained a lot of jargon that is unfamiliar to you, you likely want to use reportbug's "novice" mode; here's one way to do that. $ reportbug --mode=3Dnovice Please enter the name of the package in which you have found a problem, or type 'other' to report a more general problem. > If you're more sophisticated, or if you are not using the released version of Debian ("stable"), but instead Debian "testing" or "unstable", you should use reportbug's standard mode. $ reportbug Please enter the name of the package in which you have found a problem, or type 'other' to report a more general problem. > The reportbug command is extensively documented in its usage message and manual page. Commands to view these pieces of documentation are: $ reportbug --help | more $ man reportbug (The output of the above commands has been omitted from this message.) If you don't want to use reportbug, then please see: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting for detailed instructions on how to file bug reports that are more likely to be successfully resolved. You can also view this document locally if you have the "doc-debian" package installed: # apt-get install doc-debian $ pager /usr/share/doc/debian/bug-reporting.txt Thanks for using the Debian system! --=20 G.
