Ehm, no: there's something broken on your installation; I didn't close

you're using reportbug at version 4.8 (which is only in
unstable/testing) but your apt is configure to only look at 'stable'
release. You have installed by hand some packages from
unstable/testing, ain't you? that broke your system.
</pre>
</blockquote>
<br>
Ah, now this starts to make sense.<br>
<br>
I had been running unstable, but then something broke in X so that my
dual-monitor setup stopped working, and I tried for about six months to
get it to work again, and finally gave up, and thought I had purged
enough of the unstable system and reinstall it from stable to have my
world working again, but apparently I missed something.<br>
<br>
In this case, it's pretty obvious to me that we're not looking at a bug
in reportbug, but a failure on my part to run a clean system (and
perhaps more generally in Debian's inability to downgrade the system -
meh).<br>
<br>
I suggest you go ahead and close the bug report; it's not a problem on
your end, but on mine. (I don't expect to get it fixed anytime soon
without a clean reinstall, so I'll just have to live with the various
glitches that arise; it's my own fault for trusting unstable without
really knowing what I'm doing (which worked for me for about 8 years
without any real glitches).)<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
