Package: reportbug
Version: 3.30
Severity: normal

Hi,

I tried to report a bug against fortunes-de.  Unfortunately I get

Please select tags: (one at a time) [none] 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1745, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 777, in main
    return iface.user_interface()
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1643, in user_interface
    klass, subject, tags, body, mode, pseudos)
  File "/usr/share/reportbug/reportbug.py", line 724, in generate_blank_report
    return """%s%s%s
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xf6 in position 202: 
ordinal not in range(128)

when I ask reportbug to include the debconf settings.  My guess is that the
problem is caused by some debconf strings that contain German Umlauts:

Anekdoten, ASCIIart, Bahnhof, Bauernregeln, Computer, Debian Tips, Elefanten, 
Gedichte, Holenlassen, Huhn, Kinder, Letzte Worte, Lieber als, Löwe, 
Mathematiker, MS, Murphy, Namen, Quiz, Sicherheitshinweise, Sprichworte, 
Sprüche, Stilblüten, Tips, Translations, Unfug, Vornamen, Wußten Sie, Zitate

Kind regards and thanks for maintaining reportbug

         Andreas.
