[Reportbug-maint] Bug#578124: "ValueError: too many values to unpack" when running reportbug

[Arthur Marsh]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.12
Severity: normal


I ran:

reportbug kexec-tools

read the existing bugs then pressed "s" to report a bug:

Maintainer for kexec-tools is 'Khalid Aziz <khalid at debian.org>'.
Looking up dependencies of kexec-tools...
Getting changed configuration files...
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/reportbug/utils.py", line 644, in get_changed_config_files
    for (filename, md5sum) in conffiles:
ValueError: too many values to unpack

and reportbug aborted.

I was able to run "reportbug reportbug" successfully though and report this
bug.
