[reportbug] Will not initialize... cannot report bugs in this version (I 
found out by trying to report a fatal error msg in 'update-manager').

How the heck do you report a bug, if the reporter is done broke-down 
(for some weeks now; i'm using 'reportbug NG,' at the moment)?

Thanks,
Henry

P.s., this is really TWO REPORTS in one---> fatal error trying to update 
with update manager.
