[Reportbug-maint] Bug#650651: reportbug: Possible wrong "out of date" message when reporting a bug

[Nelson A. de Oliveira]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.3
Severity: minor

Hi!

When reporting a bug against scrounge-ntfs I saw this:

=====
$ reportbug scrounge-ntfs
*** Welcome to reportbug.  Use ? for help at prompts. ***

Getting status for scrounge-ntfs...
Checking for newer versions at madison, incoming.debian.org and http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html

Your version (0.9-6) of scrounge-ntfs appears to be out of date.
The following newer release(s) are available in the Debian archive:
  stable: 0.9-6+b1
  testing: 0.9-6+b1
  unstable: 0.9-6+b1
Do you still want to file a report [y|N|q|?]?

Note that on amd64 we don't have a version with binNMU:

=====
$ rmadison scrounge-ntfs

 scrounge-ntfs | 0.9-6    | wheezy  | source, amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc

 scrounge-ntfs | 0.9-6+b1 | wheezy  | i386, kfreebsd-amd64
 scrounge-ntfs | 0.9-6+b1 | sid     | i386, kfreebsd-amd64
 scrounge-ntfs | 0.9-6+b2 | squeeze | armel, ia64
 scrounge-ntfs | 0.9-6+b2 | wheezy  | armel, ia64
 scrounge-ntfs | 0.9-6+b2 | sid     | armel, ia64
=====

Thus it shouldn't warn us about a possible higher version available for
this arch (amd64).

If reportbug still isn't doing this, maybe it could check both the
version + arch (or if it already does this, maybe it's wrongly getting
the version from "kfreebsd-amd64"?).

Thank you!

Best regards,
Nelson
