  thank you.  :)  i read through the bug reports for
reportbug and didn't see anything that looked like 
what i was hitting.


now with installed missing package reportbug crashes with:

  TypeError: Couldn't find foreign struct converter for 'cairo.Context'

  missing some other piece...


upgraded to unstable version of reportbug.  worked.

  thank you again,
