[Reportbug-maint] Bug#803900: reportbug errors out with SOAP error

[Wookey]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.4.4+deb7u1
Severity: normal

Running reportbug to file an ITP with WNPP causes it to fail unless it
is run with --no-query-bts. If you do use --no-query-bts then the
bugreport itself still contains the same error python traceback, but
at least a message does get sent.

Attached is the log from running
reportbug wnpp

Here is the message resulting from running
reportbug -d --no-query-bts wnpp 
(sent to myself with -d)
