How would you rate the severity of this problem or report?

1 critical        makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system) break, or causes
                  serious data loss, or introduces a security hole on systems where you install the
                  package.
2 grave           makes the package in question unusable by most or all users, or causes data loss,
                  or introduces a security hole allowing access to the accounts of users who use the
                  package.
3 serious         is a severe violation of Debian policy (that is, the problem is a violation of a
                  'must' or 'required' directive); may or may not affect the usability of the
                  package. Note that non-severe policy violations may be 'normal,' 'minor,' or
                  'wishlist' bugs. (Package maintainers may also designate other bugs as 'serious'
                  and thus release-critical; however, end users should not do so.)
4 important       a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package, without rendering it
                  completely unusable to everyone.
5 does-not-build  a bug that stops the package from being built from source. (This is a 'virtual
                  severity'.)
6 normal          a bug that does not undermine the usability of the whole package; for example, a
                  problem with a particular option or menu item.
7 minor           things like spelling mistakes and other minor cosmetic errors that do not affect
                  the core functionality of the package.
8 wishlist        suggestions and requests for new features.

Please select a severity level: [normal] 5
