Yes, I was intending to install scripts under /usr/share/bug/linux-2.6 as part of linux-base (which all the linux-image packages depend on). > > Please can you redirect 'kernel' to 'linux-image-$(uname -r)' instead > > when reportbug is running on Linux? > > as said in your presubj, it might happen that the reporter is not > running the kernel with problems (because it doesn't boot or so): what > should reportbug do in this case? still trying to assing it to > 'linux-image-$(uname -r)' ?
