Package: reportbug
Version: 3.5ubuntu5
Severity: minor

After successfully sending a bug report, but before returning to the
shell, reportbug gives the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1656, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 818, in main
    main()

    (sysinfo['email'] % 'n'), (sysinfo['email'] % '999999'))
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting


I was running reportbug for the first time (for this user at machine), and
answered NO to "Do you have a MTA?" and gave the name of another machine
on my LAN for the SMTP server.  Note that the TLD of my smtphost below
is local-only, and only resolves within my LAN.
