This could be fixed by fixing #760341 so that pastebinit defaults to paste.debian.net The root cause of that is lsb-release doesn't support Python 3, breaking the distro detection.
The attached patch works around that by using platform to detect the distribution instead. Thanks, -- Andrew Starr-Bochicchio Ubuntu Developer <https://launchpad.net/~andrewsomething> Debian Developer <http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=asb> PGP/GPG Key ID: D53FDCB1
