DLA 1208-1: reportbug update




Package : reportbug
Version : 6.4.4+deb7u2
Debian Bug : 878088

Reportbug, a tool designed to make the reporting of bugs in Debian
easier, was further enhanced to automatically detect bug reports for
potential regressions caused by a security update. After user
confirmation an additional email with a copy of the report will be
sent to the debian-lts mailing list.

This change requires a new dependency, python-requests, which will be
installed automatically.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", this issue has been fixed in version
6.4.4+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your reportbug packages.
