Why do I have to select the package manually, TWICE, and the second prompt does not even show which is which (the normal user would be confused from the same entry showing up two or more times), and it doesn’t even detect the version right?
The problem is that reportbug internally using dpkg --status <packagename>breaks with ambiguous package names, like "libc6" if you have multiple architecture binaries of that package installed. To work around the problem, you can append the arch qualifier as in "reportbug libc6:i386".
To fix this within reportbug, we need to make sure we call dpkg --status with unambiguous package name in such cases. Merge request:
