[Reportbug-maint] Bug#779200: reportbug: did not show #777125, proably due to encoding issues

[Hermann Lauer]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.6.3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

while trying to report a systemd related bug on sysvinit-utils, when
selecting #777125 for viewing the screen empties and nothing is shown. 

"pstree -paul" shows:

  │   │           └─reportbug,19888 /usr/bin/reportbug sysvinit-utils
  │   │               ├─sh,19914 -c sensible-pager
  │   │               │   └─sensible-pager,19915 /usr/bin/sensible-pager
  │   │               │       └─pager,19916
  │   │               └─sh,19922 -c sensible-pager
  │   │                   └─sensible-pager,19923 /usr/bin/sensible-pager
  │   │                       └─pager,19924

Typing "q" shows "(END)", and typing "q" again leaves reportbug
with a hosed terminal (with the need to "reset" it).

Thanks for carering,
 Hermann
