Subject: bug#134: reportbug: reportbug can't find the network

Package: reportbug
Version: 7.1.6+devuan2.1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The reportbug tool sometimes fails to find the network, even when there
is nothing wrong with the network.  Maybe it is looking for an IPv6
connection when only IPv4 is available?
