It really seems that a graphical web browser is being invoked and fails to start, since (I suppose) you are root and have no access to any running X server display... What happens if you try to manually issue the above-mentioned querybts command from the same environment (e.g.: from the same shell with root privileges)? Did you customize your root (or system-wide) configuration for reportbug? Do you have "ui gtk2" in your /etc/reportbug.conf or /root/.reportbugrc , by chance? -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
