[Reportbug-maint] Bug#623150: python-reportbug: reportbug crashes when replying to existing bug report

[frank]

Package: python-reportbug
Version: 5.0
Severity: important

The reportbug gui crashes when replying to an existing bug report using
"reportbug --ui gtk2". The crash happens after selecting "Yes" or "No" at the
"Does this bug still exist in version X.X.X-X of this package??" prompt.

Steps to reproduce: Enter package name -> select existing report -> click
"Retrieve and submit bug information" -> click "Reply" -> enter a subject ->
click Yes or No at prompt.

Here is the terminal output from the crash:

/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/reportbug/ui/gtk2_ui.py:410: GtkWarning:
