[Reportbug-maint] Bug#484534: reportbug: Possible solution

[Neil Mayhew]

Package: reportbug
Followup-For: Bug #484534


The problem seems to be due to the use of python -S in the shebang line.
The -S option disables 'import site' on initialization. If I edit
/usr/bin/reportbug and remove the -S, the problem goes away.

The conventional shebang line for python scripts is #!/usr/bin/env
python. However, I can see that reportbug might want to eliminate the
possibility of a non-standard python (eg from /usr/local) so just taking
the -S off is probably the right thing to do.
