Package: reportbug
Version: 1.50
Severity: important
Recently (last known to work a few weeks ago), reportbug in Debian Woody
crashes with a Python error and traceback immediately after querying the
Debian BTS. This means that bugs cannot be reported using the Woody
"reportbug", except by forcing reportbug not to query the BTS (eg,
by giving it a proxy setting that doesn't work).
I'm guessing that the BTS interface has changed in some manner which renders
the Woody "reportbug" out of date, but am reporting the issue since Woody
is still nominally supported.

If this can't be fixed, or is not going to be fixed, it may be worth
leaving the bug tagged "wontfix" and "woody" with an explanation of
what is going on and a workaround to avoid others struggling with the
same problem. (I couldn't obviously see a similar bug report.)
