[Reportbug-maint] Bug#491219: [PATCH] python-debianbts takes precedance over /usr/share/reportbug/reportbuglib/debianbts.py

[Alban Browaeys]

Package: reportbug
Version: 3.42
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hi. I am new to python and the debian policy regarding how to handle
them though I found a workaround to get debreaper working again. 
It was failing
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/debreaper/debreaper", line 70, in <module>
    report = generate_report (status[1], status[0], status[2], status[3], path, gdbout)
  File "/usr/share/debreaper/bug_iface.py", line 27, in generate_report
    return reportbug.generate_blank_report (package, pkgversion, 'important', None, depinfo, '', path, body="*** Please describe what you were doing when the application crashed ***\n\n"+gdbout)
  File "/usr/share/reportbug/reportbuglib/reportbug.py", line 721, in generate_blank_report
    if debianbts.SYSTEMS[system].has_key('namefmt'):
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SYSTEMS'

due to python-debianbts (dependency of reportbug-ng) tyaking precedance in the import search path in /usr/share/reportbug/reportbuglib/reportbug.py

This patch works around it by adding /usr/share/reportbug/reportbuglib first in the import search path.

Best regards
Alban
