Package: reportbug Version: 6.6.1 reportbug, when invoked in text mode, generates the python traceback pasted below. The particular traceback points to an ImportError for name HTTPSConnection. The debian maintainers for python 2.7 have been aware of similar problems (eg. bug #659831), to which their response (February 2013) was "this aint a tracking bug thus closing. individual packages failures with python 2.7 should be filed as such".
So, I'm doing what they recommend, and am filing this bug as a failure
in reportbug to be compatible with python2.7.
My suggestion is that the dependency chain for reportbug require a
version of python that works with it (v2.6?).
Alternatively, It's been pointed out to me that there exists a debian
python package called virtualenv that might be useful for this. If so,
then the install could check if the target has a later version of python
installed, then also install virtualenv, and create an instance of
python in which reportbug will work.
Following is the Traceback, and the extended version info.
