Look it up based on package. If the problem appears to be with Emacs, for example, look in the emacs20 package (or emacs21 or whatever version of Emacs you're using). You'll have to know the package anyway before you can submit the bug, since every bug needs to be assigned to a package. If you can't figure out the package, take your best guess and the maintainer can help you reassign it if it's not correct, and/or ask here and we'll try to guide you. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
