Filing a Bug Report in Debian
Debian uses a (mostly) email-based bug tracking system known as Debbugs. To open a new
bug report, you will send an email (with a special syntax) to submit@bugs.debian.org. This
will allocate a bug number
XXXXXX and inform you that you can send additional informa-
tion by mailing
XXXXXX
@bugs.debian.org. Each bug is associated to a Debian package. You
can browse all the bugs of a given package (including the bug that you are thinking of re-
porting) at https://bugs.debian.org/
package
. You can check the history of a given bug at
https://bugs.debian.org/
