Severity: important
Hello!
Thanks for maintaing my favorite bug tracking system!
Today I am having serious issues with the SOAP interface.
When querying it from reportbug or querybts it seems to always
fail with the following error message:
$ reportbug reportbug
*** Welcome to reportbug. Use ? for help at prompts. ***

I was about to report this as a bug against package "reportbug",
when I found out that I could reproduce the issue with apt-listbugs,
as well:
$ apt-listbugs list -s critical reportbug
Retrieving bug reports... 0% Fail
Error retrieving bug reports from the server with the following error message:
E: Can't use an undefined value as a subroutine reference at
/usr/share/perl5/SOAP/Lite.pm line 1218.
It could be because your network is down, or because of broken proxy servers,
or the BTS server itself is down. Check network configuration and try again
Retry downloading bug information? [Y/n] n
Continue the installation anyway? [y/N]
E: Exiting with error
Please note that reportbug and querybts are written in Python,
while apt-listbugs (which I maintain) is written in Ruby: hence,
the two tools use different libraries.
The awkward thing is that reportbug/querybts seems to always fail,
while apt-listbugs sometimes fails and sometimes succeeds in querying
the BTS SOAP interface:
$ apt-listbugs -s critical list reportbug
Retrieving bug reports... Done
Parsing Found/Fixed information... Done
critical bugs of reportbug (→ ) <Resolved in some Version>
b1 - #690169 - reportbug: incorrectly labels a binary package choice as
"Source:" (Fixed: reportbug/6.6.0)
Merged with: 650386
Summary:
reportbug(1 bug)
I suspect that this issue is due to some server-side problem.
Hence, I am reporting it against the bugs.debian.org pseudo-package.
Please investigate this misbehavior and fix it.
Thanks for your time!
Bye.
