[Bug 1512200] Re: reportbug: crashes on BTS query returning "HTTPError 500 Internal Server Error"

[Clint Byrum]

I've sponsored the upload to trusty-proposed and built test packages
with it that resolve the bug for me. Vivid test build is going now and I
will upload that as well. Thanks for the patches Shih-Yuan!

  1 ITP  This is an `Intent To Package'. Please submit a package description along with copyright and URL in such a report.
  2 O    The package has been `Orphaned'. It needs a new maintainer as soon as possible.
  3 RFA  This is a `Request for Adoption'. Due to lack of time, resources, interest or something similar, the current maintainer is asking for someone else to maintain this package. They will maintain it in the meantime, but perhaps
         not in the best possible way. In short: the package needs a new maintainer.
  4 RFH  This is a `Request For Help'. The current maintainer wants to continue to maintain this package, but they needs some help to do this, because their time is limited or the package is quite big and needs several maintainers.
  5 RFP  This is a `Request For Package'. You have found an interesting piece of software and would like someone else to maintain it for Debian. Please submit a package description along with copyright and URL in such a report.
