I tried to install Debian's reportbug, but of course I can't. And assembling the info they need for email reporting will take me a half day of analysis. Part of the problem here is I am trying desperately to make a living in another line of business, and I don't have time for any of these problems. I don't know how to manually extract a package. I guess it's done with dpkg, but that will take more time for me to figure out. I've lost half of today already on this problem.
