This was while showing reportbug to a bunch of people at SFD Mumbai 2015.

What I had done is I purged reportbug so that all and any
configurations done by me will not be there and people will have an
idea of the tool.

After purging, I re-installed/installed it again showing people how it
is done via CLI. I did share with people how programs get stored in
/var/lib/apt/archives and then started to install it.

I am not very sure, it is possible that I *may* have hit [Enter] in
which case it should have given an error that cannot access the
network and should I try again, and then move on to the actual
installation, once somehow that is resolved one way or the other.
