Hello maintainers of reportbug,
I tried to file an unblock request for live-installer, which is an udeb-only
package.
Reportbug (the gtk-interface) crashed with the following:
```
roland@silent:/dev/shm/live-installer-58$ reportbug
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 2369, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1091, in main
return iface.user_interface()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1755, in user_interface
res = special_prompts(package, bts, ui, fromaddr,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 501, in special_prompts
return pkgprompts(package, bts, ui, fromaddr, timeout, online, http_proxy)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/reportbug/debbugs.py", line 589, in
handle_debian_release
info = check_package_info(package)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/reportbug/debbugs.py", line 252, in
check_package_info
if info[1]:
~~~~^^^
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable
```
Steps to reproduce:
* Start 'reportbug' from the prompt
* The package: release.debian.org
* Sort of request: unblock
* Name of package: live-installer
-> Crash
My hacky fix, which allows me to file the bug:
Change line 252 of /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/reportbug/debbugs.py from
`if info[1]:`
to
`if info and info[1]:`
With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
