[Reportbug-maint] Bug#672162: reportbug crashes with 'Floating point exception'

[Matthias Guentert]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.12.6

When trying to report a bug via reportbug under gnome it crashes when
entering the following package name 'nvidia-glx' with the output
below. I am runing Debian stable (squeeze) on amd64. Please let me
know if you need more information to fix this.

$ reportbug

If you want to provide additional information, please wait to receive
the bug tracking number via email; you may then send any
extra information to n at bugs.debian.org (e.g. 999999 at bugs.debian.org),
where n is the bug number. Normally you will receive an
acknowledgement via email including the bug report number within an
hour; if you haven't received a confirmation, then the bug
reporting process failed at some point (reportbug or MTA failure, BTS
maintenance, etc.).
