[Reportbug-maint] Bug#649979: reportbug: Sending bug for obsolete linux-image-2.6.39-2-686-pae package crashs reportbug

[Stéphane Aulery]

Package: reportbug

Version: 6.3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I want to send a bug report for linux-image-2.6.39-2-686-pae package,
witch is obsolete, but I use currently.

I start reportbug in console mode, in the first screen I fill textbox
with linux-image-2.6.39-2-686-pae and make enter. It crashs after a
short time with this message :

    line 126, in get_versions_available

IndexError: list index out of range

Maybe, it is forbiden to send report on obsolete package or my problem
is related to bug 601679 ?

Regards,
