This is an exception raised by this code snippet:

        if value not in ('debbugs', 'launchpad'):
            raise AttributeError, 'invalid report type'

In fact we don't have a way to report a bug to Opera. Honestly, I
don't know if I even want to support a non-free/not-included-in-debian
package. Anyhow, I'd be happy to merge a patch, if you'd provide one
to support it and it's not too invasive. I've retitle the bug and
adjusted teh severity.

PS: feel free to get me on IRC, to discuss it faster (nick = morph).
