Package: reportbug Version: 7.5.0 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, reportbug fails on fully upgraded sid because of #906127 "Incorrect check of httplib2 version": https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=906127 #906127 has normal severity, but its impact on reportbug is grave. This report is Google fodder to help fellow victims of this bug. Workaround is to download the patch for pysimplesoap and apply it locally: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=2;bug=906127;filename=fix- httplib2-version-check.patch;msg=5 cd /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pysimplesoap patch -p2 < /path/to/fix-httplib2-version-check.patch After applying this patch, I was able to use reportbug to submit this report.
