Package: reportbug
Version: 3.20
Severity: normal
The following version error seems mistaken:
% reportbug -b freeguide
< stuff deleted >
Getting status for freeguide...
Verifying package integrity...
Checking for newer versions at packages.debian.org...
Your version of freeguide (0.10.3-1) is newer than that in Debian! Do you still want to
file a report [y|N|q|?]?
...because my new 'freeguide' is Debian's:
% zcat /usr/share/doc/freeguide/changelog.Debian.gz | head
freeguide (0.10.3-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
* Use ant to install the package to debian/tmp.
* Help/About links work. Closes: #288526.
* Load font preferences at startup. Closes: #288517.
* Check for valid widget size. Closes: #288528.

I'm guessing either the 'freeguide' package is configured funny,
or 'reportbug' is confused, or both -- apologies if it's not
'reportbug'.
Hope this helps...
