If you don't know the package name, use 'general'. reportbug does this for you. > I would greatly appreciate it if someone would tell me what's the > package name for X and how do it determine it's version number? xserver-xfree86 is the package name, 'dpkg -l packagename' gives you the version number of packagename.
