[Reportbug-maint] Bug#607849: reportbug crashes due to incorrect os.uname call

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.12.6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


Ran into it on Debian system, and located that it was already reported in
Ubuntu as well:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/reportbug/+bug/601264

thus kept subject the same.

ran into it while testing custom specification of the SYSTEM:

reportbug -d -b -B neurodebian -o /tmp/11 svgtune
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 2098, in <module>
    main()

    utsmachine = os.uname(4)
TypeError: uname() takes no arguments (1 given)

indeed, original intent was probably getting architecture so patch is trivial, just use
os.uname()[4] instead
