Hello, same problem here, reportbug fails to access the BTS through a proxy. When the proxy is configured in ~/.reportbugrc reportbug also fails to access the package database:
$ grep proxy ~/.reportbugrc # Your proxy server address http_proxy "http://http-proxy.ibr.ch:8080/"; $ reportbug Please enter the name of the package in which you have found a problem, or type 'other' to report a more general problem. > binutils [..] Using 'Uwe Storbeck <u...@ibr.ch>' as your from address. Getting status for binutils... Checking for newer versions at madison... Querying Debian BTS for reports on binutils (source)... Unable to connect to Debian BTS; continue [y|N|?]? When I set the proxy from the shell environment reportbug at least can access the package database, but still fails to access the bug tracker: $ http_proxy=http://http-proxy.ibr.ch:8080/ reportbug Please enter the name of the package in which you have found a problem, or type 'other' to report a more general problem. > binutils [..] Using 'Uwe Storbeck <u...@ibr.ch>' as your from address.
