Package: reportbug
Version: 6.6.3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
Note: this concerns reportbug on TESTING, even though I am reporting it
from stable because reportbug on testing won't run at all.
Running reportbug fails immediately with:
$ reportbug reportbug ~/outsrc/stable-grep/grep-2.20/src
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 43, in <module>
from reportbug import utils
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/reportbug/utils.py", line 43, in <module>
from .urlutils import open_url
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/reportbug/urlutils.py", line 33, in
<module>
import webbrowser
ImportError: bad magic number in 'webbrowser': b'\x03\xf3\r\n'
Obviously this is a bug in python3's webbrowser module
(import webbrowser from the python3 console also fails).
However, it's also a reportbug bug, because it makes reportbug
completely unusable with any UI. No matter whether I run reportbug
with -u text, -u gtk, or -u urwid, it dies with the same error.
Why is the text interface trying to call up the webbrowser module?
