ftn-unpack AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'errors'

[ftoledo]

i don't know if this a pkt file malformed or from ftn-unpack code.
the message was created in Synchronet bbs as netmail.
The path is:
synchronet -> sbbsecho -> binkd (bbs side) -> binkd (client side) -> ftn-unpack
BBS side run debian wheezy, client side (mi laptop) run debian jessie.

you can download the .pkt file at http://bbs.docksud.com.ar/download/b3ed89bc.pkt

pd: great project, i hope to colabore with this.

newer bitstring versions use bitstring.ReadError instead of bitstring.errors.ReadError

Hi, thanks for looking at this code! I haven't touched it in quite a while, and I'm no longer running any FTN-compatible software. If you want to submit a pull request that corrects the issue I'm happy to accept it.
