PS. I got "Constraint not satisfied" when I used a longer (and more useful) bug title:

 scribble 1.10-2 uses obsolete version specification in conflicts

So what constraint is not satisfied? I found nothing in Google, and just guessed that the string might be too long.

This is my first bug to Ubuntu -- I submit them regularly to Debian. While Ubuntu is generally more user-friendly than Debian, the bug-reporting system (in my very limited experience) is dramatically less user-friendly. In Debian. submitting a bug takes a few seconds; in Ubuntu, it took me an hour -- and the system is so complicated that there are many bugs I have not reported, since the barrier is so high. This Sunday morning, after a year or more of using Ubuntu, I decided to push through.

Simple suggestion: don't stop someone from submitting a bug because the description violates some secret constraint -- that's just not ubuntu!

Cheers,
