Hello Sthu,
first of all, please always the bug in the loop, so others can see
what's happening.

Well, I'm not that sure the current behavior of reportbug is wrong:
you're using an outdated version, from an archive point of view, so
the suggestion is trying to install it, if possible, and verify if the
problem you're facing is still replicable or not.
