reportbug-4.0/reportbug/utils.py file does not check if
/etc/debian_version, /var/dpkg/status or /proc/cpuinfo are readable
before trying to open them. It leads to a reportbug crash if these files
are unreadable.
In the same idea, utils.py does not check if /proc/cpuinfo exists before
trying to read it, which leads to a crash if this file does not exist,
e.g on a system where /proc has not been mounted (chrooted environment).
Here is a really simple patch to deal with these issues.
Regards,
Carl Chenet
