Traceback when finishing a test run on s390x

Running the suite from the dev-ppa on an s390x guest in z/KVM. The testing had some issues I'll dive into later, but for now, I have not been able to submit the results.

I added the SID to the config file and at the end, checkbox-ng tries to submit the results and that results in the traceback below:
