Package: reportbug
Version: 6.4.4
Followup-For: Bug #672487

Traced source of bug with this line inserted (near reportbug:1820):

----------------------------------
 for f in files:
+     print confinfo[f]
      conftext = conftext + u'%s %s\n' % (f, confinfo[f])
----------------------------------

Actual error is:
----------------------------------
[Errno 13] Отказано в доступе: u'/etc/burp/burp-server.conf'
----------------------------------

Workaround: run reportbug with 'C' locale:

----------------------------------
user at localhost ~ $ LANG=C reportbug <package>
----------------------------------

Then error messages becomes strict ansi codepage

[Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/burp/burp-server.conf'
[Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/burp/burp.conf'
[Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/burp/clientconfdir/incexc/example'
[Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/burp/clientconfdir/testclient'

....or run reportbug with sufficient permissions to read needed files.
