found 834220 1:5.1.5~rc2-1

tag 834220 + unreproducible

Hi,
just tried in clean, current sid (you use a testing with some mix from some
random stuff you probably shouldn't use - like Ubuntu xenial ppas..). But
testing and sid should be similar enough.

You mean it only happens with --backtrace or also without? Your title
suggests the first.

Didn't try (yet).

No, that was the case on my first try, worked, too.

Then you should set Version: to the correct value. The BTS tracks that,
ans right now only thinks 5.2.0-1 was affected.

I'd firstly try in a clean system.
But yes, if you want a --backtrace, you DO need the -dbgsym packages. They
contain the debug symbols. Without them a backtrace not very useful.
[useless reportbug-ng output snipped. Does reportbug-ng have a bug and
doesn't display the versions of the dependencies? Isn't shown here at least
and I saw it before too]
