Your version (1.2.10-2.1) of gorm.app appears to be out of date.
The following newer release(s) are available in the Debian archive:

unstable: 1.2.10-2.1+b1

This version is for kfreebsd only. Are you using it?

This is an interesting situation. Indeed, the +b1 version is only for the two
KFreeBSD architectures.

If the OP is not using KFreeBSD, then this is a reportbug bug (since there
isn't a newer release available for the user's architecture.) There doesn't
seem to be anything similar reported, yet.

No, this isn't a reportbug bug. This is reportbug simply saying "You're
running stable. The bug you're about to report may already have been
reported and fixed in testing or unstable".

It's up to the user to check that and, if that's not the case, then
they're most welcome to press "Y" and report the bug.

In this case, the +b1 versions are likely to be binary-only uploads
(that is, they were rebuilt against a newer library for the kFreeBSD
architectures with no need to change the source). It's highly unlikely
that this will have fixed a bug present when running on a Linux kernel.
