This is not a full transcript, is it? What is the actual problem? Do I
understand correctly that reportbug works just fine and this report is
only about that line you see in the output?

The error message comes from "apt-cache showsrc <pkg>" (which is called
from reportbug) and is trying to tell you that you have no deb-src
entries in your sources.list.

I'm guessing that you have entered a non-existent package name in
reportbug, so it tries to check if there is a source package with that
name. It does that by calling "apt-cache showsrc <pkgname>", which only
works if you have deb-src lines in your sources.list.

What does this have to do with onion addresses?
