grab-attachments doesn't work with private bugs anymore

[Peter Petrakis]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

This appears to be a regression. I work alot on the OEM side and
have to deal with private bugs almost exclusively. Some time after a launchpad
update, I found that grab-attachments ceased to function. At first I thought
it was my system and ruled that out, then I brought it to IS's attention to explain
to me the use of lplibrarian.internal why it's no longer accessible.

Here's the trace, the same tool works perfectly fine with public bugs on
the same system. Yes I have credentials to access this bug.

This is not a bug in the script itself but a current limitition in LP. It's currently not possible to access attachments from private bugs over the LP API. But it's being worked on (bug 395960).

Till this is fixed the script could get modified to not crash on private bugs anymore.
