Title:
  ubuntu-bug cannot report a problem: "urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or
  service not known"

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Reporting bugs worked before. Now I've tried to report a bug about
  metacity with the following CLI command:

  ubuntu-bug metacity

  After a while (and after the summary of the information) I get a
  dialog box saying:

  "Cannot connect to crash database, please check your Internet connection.
  <urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>"

  My internet connection is OK. Name server settings are OK, I can
  resolve DNS names without problems, I can visit various web sites,
  like LP now too, so I could report this here :) I have direct Internet
  connection, no proxy/firewall/whatever.
