[Reportbug-maint] Bug#787723: reportbug: crashes when querying Debian BTS for reports on wnpp

[Antonio Terceiro]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.6.3
Severity: important

I am trying to submit a ITP bug, and reportbug currenty consistently crashes.
Note that the "Querying Debian BTS for reports on wnpp (source)..." step takes
a while before actually crashing.

The problem seems to be specific to wnpp, since I am submitting this very own
bug using reportbug.

$ reportbug wnpp

What sort of request is this? (If none of these things mean anything to you, or you are trying to report a bug in an existing package, please press

1 ITP  This is an `Intent To Package'. Please submit a package description along with copyright and URL in such a report.
2 O    The package has been `Orphaned'. It needs a new maintainer as soon as possible.
3 RFA  This is a `Request for Adoption'. Due to lack of time, resources, interest or something similar, the current maintainer is asking for someone
       else to maintain this package. They will maintain it in the meantime, but perhaps not in the best possible way. In short: the package needs a
       new maintainer.
4 RFH  This is a `Request For Help'. The current maintainer wants to continue to maintain this package, but they needs some help to do this, because
       their time is limited or the package is quite big and needs several maintainers.
5 RFP  This is a `Request For Package'. You have found an interesting piece of software and would like someone else to maintain it for Debian. Please
       submit a package description along with copyright and URL in such a report.

Choose the request type: 1
Please enter the proposed package name: tmate
