Nitpicking: You do not iwant to report to med-bio (which is a different
package) - you want to report to the Debian BTS. Since I know you are
usually using Ubuntu please refer to
https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/disco/man1/reportbug.1.html
whether there are some specifics from here to make sure the report will
go to the Debian BTS. From a Debian system its simply
reportbug ncbi-blast+
If you call reportbug the first time it creates a config file
~/.reportbugrc
Make sure that it contains the line
smtphost reportbug.debian.org
since a mail needs to be sent by reportbug and you need a valid
smtphost (in case you do not have any valid one configured on your
local machine).
Hope this helps and thanks for reporting issues to Debian
Andreas.
