I don't see why this was marked as private, but I'll leave it as private to be safe. Also, not sure if this affects 12.10 or has been a bug in pastebinit.

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

The fix for this issue has now been committed upstream.

This bug was fixed in the package pastebinit - 1.4-2ubuntu1
