Hi, You are correct: now that I checked, “apport-bug apport” and “apport-bug net-tools” works fine. I agree that this is not a bug.
It can however be rephrased as an enhancement: I believe that most people think of programs, not packages (at least I do ☺). So if there is a bug with a program, I just call “apport-bug” followed by the program name (which most of the case actually corresponds to the package name, but as instanced here, not always). When typing a non-existent command in the shell, I usually get a message “try installing this package”: do you think that it would be easy to add a feature of Apport such that if the package is non-installed, but that there is a command with this name, it suggests a package name instead? I think that this would greatly help getting useful bug reports ☺ Maybe the code from gnome-terminal that looks for such package can be reused? Have a nice day, Martin. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856255 Title: Apport-bug wrongly complains about the program not being installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1856255/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
