Package: reportbug

Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

when reportbug queries madison, but you're behind a captive portal
(ie, coffeeshop, public place...), reportbug crashes.

reportbug apt

I expect it to complain about crappy network connectivity, suggest to
retry with --no-query-bts, not crash like this.

Workaround is a functional network or using -b.

i dont think it's reasonable to inject wrong results into the web
services we call and expect reportbug not to crash or misbehave.
wrapping every call to check for errors will make the code more
cumbersome and hard to maintain for (honestly) not much of a gain. i'm
going to close this report. thanks!
