reopen 354743 = thanks Hi,
now packages.debian.org is back again and reacts with gzip-compressed HTTP answers when asked for them. Now the answer to the url that reportbug uses (http://packages.debian.org/<package>) is a gzip-compressed 302. So the HTTPRedirectHandler jumps in and fetches the given url (which points to the cgi-perl-script doing the actual search). This handle however doesn't ask packages.d.o for a compressed response and thus the response is plain text. But reportbug still thinks its compressed and thus tries to decompress the plain text message which of course fails with an IOError. There are 2 solutions to this: 1. The easiest: Turn off the Accept-Encoding line in urlutils.py:urlopen 2. find out why reportbug doesn't get that the real response is not gzipped anymore and fix it. I had a quick look for 2 but I couldn't find anything besides that the error happens when the page returned is read().
