[Reportbug-maint] Bug#814454: Bug: reportbug 7.1.2

[R Rijkhoff]

I'm getting a similar error on Debian Stretch (also using reportbug
7.1.2).

I'm not sure if this is relevant, but when I selected 'Reportbug' from
the Mate menu nothing happened. When I ran reportbug in a terminal
emulator I got the standard set-up wizard. I encountered no errors at
that stage.

Selecting 'Reportbug' from the Mate menu still doesn't do anything, and
when I now run reportbug in the terminal I get the following:

$ reportbug reportbug
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 2233, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1084, in main
    if newui.initialize():
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/reportbug/ui/gtk2_ui.py", line
1580, in initialize gi.require_version('Vte', '2.91')
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 118, in
require_version raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' %
namespace) ValueError: Namespace Vte not available


I can run the following:

$ reportbug -q --template -T none -s none -S normal -b --list-cc none
-q reportbug
