[Reportbug-maint] Bug#667663: reportbug: urwid UI allows us to cancel a package selection, but does not handle it well Package: reportbug

[Valentin Lorentz]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.3.2
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

(note that I installed reportbug from Git, so it may not apply to the
release.)

How to reproduce the bug:
* Select UI urwid
* type the name of a package you do not have installed
* "A package named "reportbug" does not appear to be installed; do you
want to search for a similar-looking filename in an installed package?"
=> answer yes
* press "cancel"
* First odd message: "A package named 'reportbug' does not appear to be
installed on your system; however, '-1' contains a file named
'reportbug'.  Do you want to file your report on the package reportbug
found?"
* press "ok"

and crash.

Here is the full output:
