Bug Report - Bug Reports

When reporting a bug, please include the following information:

• What are you trying to do?
• How can the problem be reproduced (actions, commands…)
• What is the expected behavior?
• What happens instead?
• Version of the software
• Operating system version / release

reportbug will automatically add relevant parts of your system configuration to bug reports.

If the bug affects all users of the software (not exclusively Debian), it is sometimes better to report it to Debian and directly to the program developers/maintainers. Consult the official website of the software for information on how to report bugs.
