gdb: "internal error in printf_command" on printf "%p", 0

[Tchize]

Hello mr Walles,

to report bug, you should now go to launchpad
(https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+filebug), not use the 'reportbug'
tool.

Btw, am asking to everyone here,
could someone decide to remove that damn broken reportbug package from
repository?
