Sure. But "Doesn't work" obviously is not worth anything. Because "Dooesn't work"
doesn't tell details how to reproduce this...

I understand your feeling, but some common rules should be followed. I.e. reporting bugs
with steps how to reproduce it etc.
And there is README.Debian etc. (which *do* tell how to get a backtrace)
Maxbe I really should add presubj stuff to reportbug.
[ Oh, you didn't use reportbug? Use that. It gives at least the info
about your system, arch, version of dependent packages, etc ]

I am sorry that it hit you but I receive lots of bug reports like that and you just were the one
where the one where I overreacted.

And there is README.Debian etc.

I do.

Wrong. It just clobbers the buglist. It will never get real
attention.

Please answer my questions.
And give more info (as I wrote in the last mail).
Backtrace (see README.Debian how to do that), whether it contains http links,
some more info (maybe even the doc) etc.

Rene
