bzr crash exceptions.AttributeError: addinfourl instance has no attribute 'getheader'

[Mirror Admin]

I am sending this report as requested by the bzr software. I was attempting to get the source code for Gufw, since they don't have any tarballs of source code available for download. I typed the command:

bzr branch lp:gui-ufw

as instructed on the web page at:

https://code.launchpad.net/gui-ufw/+branches?field.lifecycle=MATURE&field.lifecycle-empty-marker=1&field.sort_by=least+recently+changed+first&field.sort_by-empty-marker=1

traceback follows:

bzr: ERROR: exceptions.AttributeError: addinfourl instance has no attribute 'getheader'
