[Reportbug-maint] Bug#869936: reportbug: ImportError: No module named 'requests.packages.urllib3'

[Luca Rodehutskors]

Dear Maintainer,

so, we got the error figured out on our side. Some other package
installed an outdated 'six.pyc' to '/usr/bin/'. Reportbug found that
file and tried to use it with the aforementioned output. Obviously there
is something wrong with that outdated file. When deleting the file,
reportbug compiles its own 'six.pyc' from the package 'python3-six' and
everything works out well. Additionally everything works fine with a
self-compiled up-to-date 'six.pyc' from here:
https://github.com/benjaminp/six.


Dear Dave,

you may want to compare straces of opened files ( --> 'strace reportbug
-e trace=open') between systems with a working reportbug package and
systems with a malfunctioning reportbug package. Maybe you can find
differences in the opened files and can determine, which of the
dependencies of reportbug causes the errors on your side. This was how I
found the error on our side.

Best regards,

Luca Rodehutskors
