Package: pastebinit
Version: 1.5
<https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/pastebinit.git/tag/?h=debian/1.5-1>

This has been a long standing issue, especially if you run a Debian variant
that is not strictly within the lsb-release calculated values.

Some backstory and a good read:
http://mewbies.com/pastebinit_how_to_pastebin_commnad_line_output_from_terminal_to_pastebin.htm

------------------------------------------------------------------------
man pastebinit | pastebinit -a test
 Output: THIS API HAS BEEN DISABLED. Please use Pastebin's new API.
 http://pastebin.com/api

 This is the problem on Debian since pastebin.com is the default URL. To
 get around that either:
 1. Signup to pastebin: Pastebin.com FAQ: "Yes, we have got an API
 available, but we do require you to be a member of the website to access
 it."

 OR
 2. Use another URL. From pastebinit man:
 Select another URL (-b) ('-a test' will show as the author test):
 man pastebinit | pastebinit -a test -b http://paste.ubuntu.com
 The output is the URL where your paste is.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

TL:DR - pastebin.com is not available as a public anonymous API. This
requires a login. You may argue "well, if we support Debian and it uses
paste.debian.net," that is beyond the point. The fallback URL does not
function.
