[Reportbug-maint] Bug#789862: Error: Message creation failed, not sending

[Roger Lynn]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.6.3
Severity: normal

Hi,

I've just upgraded to Jessie and after editing a bug report for vsftpd 3.0.2-17 I got the following output:

Report will be sent to "Debian Bug Tracking System" <submit at bugs.debian.org>
Attachments:
 conf-file attached

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 261, in expanduser
    if not path.startswith('~'):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'

My bug report appears to have been deleted from /tmp. My reportbug
configuration has not changed since Wheezy.

Thank you,

Roger
