Package: reportbug
Version: 6.2.2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?
Entering a packagename that not matches any installed package

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
1 - I started reportbug (commandline) and entered gnome as package
name.
2 - As the name 'gnome' didn't matched any source or binary package
reportbug asks if one wants to search for "similar-looking filename
in and installed packages".
3 - By answering yes a big list of this files is given  

* What was the outcome of this action?
Only the last results of the list can be seen (depending on the
number of lines buffered by the terminal)

* What outcome did you expect instead?
Results paginated (as in the step where one looks for already
existing bugs) 

Thanks in advance,
xiscu
