[Reportbug-maint] Bug#797922: Crash at creating bug report for some packages

[Mechtilde Stehmann]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.6.4
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Hello,

I want to work at a bug report for a package I pack. I have installed a beta
version of calendar-exchange-provider for testing the package. I test the
reportbug too.

Looking at the appropriate bugs, reportbug crashes.

The hash of that conffile is "e7bedf87b78de66f99e6e7fea664a152".

I worked out that the problem was the first character of this hash. It crashes
because of the beginning "e".

Kind regards

Mechtilde
