Your case is not an example of that. ;) But in the very same section of the wiki page as where you found the above link, there is already a link to submit a bug without specifying the source package. (That's an option which should be avoided as far as possible.)

Hopefully that was just a temporary problem. Maybe because the account was just created.
Thanks for your report. It seems like you didn't read the wiki page carefully enough, though.

Right after the link it says:
"where PACKAGENAME is the name of the source package about which you want to file the bug report."
linux-image- 5.11.0- 41-generic is a binary package, not a source package. Its source package is "linux", so this URL:
http:// bugs.launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +source/ linux/+ filebug? no-redirect
should work.

?? That's the URL to this bug report.
Please let us know if the above explanation is sufficient, or if you still see a need for clarification.
