Hi,

I tried to report a bug in the debian installer with reportbug. Doing
this with "Joe user attitude", not looking for the actual virtual
package name and other resources. I tried:

reportbug install
reportbug installer
reportbug (and then selecting other and looking for debian-installer in the list)

None of those pretty obvious methods leads me to do what I want, file a
bug against debian-installer.

I think this is a UX problem and should be improved in future.

Best regards,
Eduard.

Hey debian-boot@ ! do you have any thoughts on this suggestions? do you
feel the current rate of bug reports is impacted by the issue Eduard
reported? what would you like to see here? thanks!

Hi,

Sandro Tosi <morph@debian.org> (2018-05-13):

Why isn't “Joe user” checking what the installation guide recommends?

fully agree with you here. Unless Eduard wants to add something, i'm
probably going to close this report as wontfix.

Thanks!

Hi,

one of the help pages in the installer?
F9 already has some info related to installation problems,
and has some space left...

BTW: F10 (copyright and warranties) does not work here on
qemu, no reaction. Is that already known?

Hi, not sure if this is strictly the same bug ...

I assume the link above was the old version of

https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/amd64/release-notes/ch-moreinfo.en.html#bugs?

If so, it doesn't help me decide what (pseudo-)package to report a bug
against for the installer.

And when I try to use reportbug with debian-installer (having found a
bug page with many bugs under that name), reportbug tells me there is no
such package.

Is that how it's supposed to work?

Cheers,
Richard
