Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
netboot test install (minimal testing)
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
aptitude install reportbug
reportbug installation-reports
   * What was the outcome of this action?
crash during bug submission (SMTP)
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

if reportbug is run without a package name and the initial questions are answerd first the problem goes away.

There are several things contributing:
1. No MTA installed or MTA only configured for local delivery
2. reportbug using the MTA by default if unconfigured
3. reportbug not detecting the 'missing MTA' case.

When a user reports a bug on reportbug, they are presented a list of
"common issues" which mentions the local delivery thing at the very top,
so I don't think this report is meant to reiterate this. I interpret it
as more likely referring to the third part, which has been fixed in
reportbug 7.9.0.
