Control: tags -1 = ascii debian

Looking more closely, this appears to be Debian bugs #857013, #846053 and

Closing.

Package: reportbugVersion: reportbug 7.1.6+devuan2.1
I first ran reportbug, selected "standard" and went through the configuration prompts. Filled out the report and selected to send. It failed because I didn't have the method correct for sending mail, and asked me if I want to retry or save, etc. I hit "q". When I tried to restart reportbug, I typed in "xfce" for the package name, was prompted for similar package names, then selected xfce4-panel. I then got the following output:
Select one of these packages: xfce4-panel
A package named 'xfce' does not appear to be installed on your system; however,
'xfce4-panel' contains a file named 'xfce'. Do you want to file your report on
the package reportbug found [Y|n|q|?]? y
Getting status for xfce4-panel...
