According to the emails from bugs.debian.org, https://bugs.debian.org/770742 . > Which one is unsuccessful? According to the emails from bugs.debian.org, https://bugs.debian.org/770740 . The email said the report without a Package tag could not be accepted. But 770740 appears to be the correct focus now. > So the only way to get a bugreport with dependent package > versions but without version of the package in question is > to manually delete package version from the bugreport > before sending it. I gave the command "reportbug". It prompted for the package. Then the report was saved to a file rather than sent directly by reportbug. Then I mailed the content of the saved file to submit at bugs.debian.org. No deliberate deletion of any tags. A reply from bugs.debian.org reported absence of the Package tag. Then I found the syntax and added Package and Version tags and tried again. reportbug with 0 parameters. > None of my current machines has real floppy drive, and > while I do have an old floppy drive around, there's no > machine where it is possible to connect this drive to -- > no machine has a floppy controller. Well, certainly a drive is necessary to replicate my observation. I could mail you a drive or an old laptop except that the postage would be ridiculous. Perhaps another maintainer has a working floppy drive? > Please try current qemu-system - either x86_64 or i386. > It is available in backports, of version 2.1.

I can work with strace in a few more days. Meanwhile, if another maintainer can verify my observation, good! Regards, ...
