Thanks.
A small thing but maybe should be looked at. While selecting the
package installation-guide in reportbug a list popups and i select
installation-guide-amd64.
In the next step a message pops up:
A package names 'installation-guide-amd64' does not appear to be
installed. Do you want to search for a similar-looking filename..'
And after that, (i select no) reportbug asks to supply the version
of the package. i press (blank OK)
