[Reportbug-maint] Bug#639577: reportbug: wrong bug reports retrieved

[Edward J. Shornock]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.1
Severity: normal

An example of what I mean:

----start----
Querying Debian BTS for reports on reportbug (source)...
156 bug reports found:

(1-18/156) Is the bug you found listed above [y|N|b|m|r|q|s|f|e|?]? 15
Retrieving report #627956 from Debian bug tracking system...
What do you want to do now? [N|x|o|r|b|e|q|?]?
----end----

Previously entering the sequence number (such as "15" above) would retrieve bug
#632079. As you can see above #627956 (the 10th on the list) was retrieved instead.

Entering the actual bug number itself does work.
