[Reportbug-maint] Bug#653121: reportbug: Reportbug cannot handle hyphens in package name?

[Jeroen N. Witmond]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.12.6
Severity: normal

jeroen at BlackBox:~$ reportbug chromium-browser
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/reportbug/ui/gtk2_ui.py", line 491, in
callback
    func (*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/reportbug/ui/gtk2_ui.py", line 540, in

execute
    self.view.get_buffer().set_text (message % args)
TypeError: not enough arguments for format string

This happens after clicking Continue on the selection panel for existing bugs.
I did not select a bug. My hunch is that this happens only for packages whose
names contain a hyphen. I know this problem happens always for package
chromium-browser but not for package reportbug.
