        How would you rate the severity of this problem or report?

        1 critical        makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole 
system)
                                break, or causes serious data loss, or 
introduces a security
                                hole on systems where you install the package.
        2 grave           makes the package in question unusable by most or all 
users,
                                or causes data loss, or introduces a security 
hole allowing
                                access to the accounts of users who use the 
package.
        3 serious         is a severe violation of Debian policy (that is, the 
problem
                                is a violation of a 'must' or 'required' 
directive); may or
                                may not affect the usability of the package. 
Note that non-
                                severe policy violations may be 'normal,' 
'minor,' or
                                'wishlist' bugs. (Package maintainers may also 
designate
                                other bugs as 'serious' and thus 
release-critical; however,
                                end users should not do so.)
        4 important       a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a 
package,
                                without rendering it completely unusable to 
everyone.
        5 does-not-build  a bug that stops the package from being built from 
source.
                                (This is a 'virtual severity'.)
        6 normal          a bug that does not undermine the usability of the 
whole
                                package; for example, a problem with a 
particular option or
                                menu item.
        7 minor           things like spelling mistakes and other minor 
cosmetic errors
                                that do not affect the core functionality of 
the package.
        8 wishlist        suggestions and requests for new features.

        Please select a severity level: [normal]

        AttributeError: invalid report type

Maybe it has something to do with the slash or the encoding?


Thanks,
