Package: reportbug
Version: 7.5.2
Severity: minor
Hi,
I can reproduce a crash in reportbug when asking to file a bug against
ftp.debian.org asking to remove a non-existent package (e.g. if you
list multiple binaries or cheat an use "<common-prefix>-*").
Just before the crash, reportbug asks you to confirm that the
non-existant package is deliberate and that we should continue anyway.
Below is an example flow with the crash.
"""
$ reportbug ftp.debian.org
