No, this isn't a reportbug bug. This is reportbug simply saying "You're
running stable. The bug you're about to report may already have been
reported and fixed in testing or unstable".

It's up to the user to check that and, if that's not the case, then
they're most welcome to press "Y" and report the bug.

In this case, the +b1 versions are likely to be binary-only uploads
(that is, they were rebuilt against a newer library for the kFreeBSD
architectures with no need to change the source). It's highly unlikely
that this will have fixed a bug present when running on a Linux kernel.
