You can pretty much stop right after the first sentence and just use reportbug. The one gotcha is that reportbug needs either a working mail server configuration or an SMTP host. In your case you could use GMail: https://wiki.debian.org/reportbug#Using_GMail.27s_SMTP_Server Figuring out which package to file the bug against is another problem, but I'm sure the list can help out there too. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5
