Hi!

Today, while our DNS server was having some problems, I tried to use reportbug.
It happened the same as described on this bug.
reportbug just quit, without saying nothing:

==========
$ reportbug
Please enter the name of the package in which you have found a problem, or type
'other' to report a more general problem.
> mtr-tiny
*** Welcome to reportbug.  Use ? for help at prompts. ***
Using '"Nelson A. de Oliveira" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'
as your from address.
Detected character set: ISO-8859-1
Please change your locale if this is incorrect.

Getting status for mtr-tiny...
Checking for newer versions at packages.debian.org...
Querying Debian BTS for reports on mtr (source)...
$
==========

The problem was that reportbug could not resolve machine names (caused
by our DNS problem).
reportbug should show something like "Temporary failure in name resolution".

Since my problem is pratically the same of this bug, I've deciced to write this.

Thank you!
