Comment 1 Michal Konecny 2019-07-11 19:15:11 UTC

I'm now having the same issue on the-new-hotness which is creating issues in Bugzilla to notify Fedora maintainers about new versions.

Here is the full traceback from the-new-hotness:
```

```

I'm trying to create a bug for component `golang-github-Masterminds-vcs`, which is already created here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1435628, but instead of getting error that the bug is already existing I'm getting above error.

Additional info:
This isn't happening on staging version of the-new-hotness which is communicating with http://partner-bugzilla.redhat.com/ instead of bugzilla.redhat.com.
