Public bug reported: I typed “apport-bug ifconfig” because ifconfig was wrongly behaving. Apport told me that ifconfig was not installed. But it was! So I restarted my computer, just in case, but the bug is still there. And for all programs that it tried. Including Apport itself.
Currently, when I type “apport-bug apport-bug”, I get a window “Problem in apport-bug” with the following message: “The problem cannot be reported: This report is about a package that is not installed.” (See screenshot here-attached.) The error message is clearly wrong: apport-bug must be installed to be able to display this window. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportLog: ERROR: apport (pid 7467) Thu Dec 12 23:14:13 2019: called for pid 7431, signal 6, core limit 0, dump mode 1 ERROR: apport (pid 7467) Thu Dec 12 23:14:13 2019: executable: /home/martin/.steam/ubuntu12_64/vulkandriverquery (command line "/home/martin/.steam/ubuntu12_32/../ubuntu12_64/vulkandriverquery") ERROR: apport (pid 7467) Thu Dec 12 23:14:13 2019: executable does not belong to a package, ignoring ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.9 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistributionChannelDescriptor: # This is the distribution channel descriptor for the OEM CDs # For more information see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributionChannelDescriptor canonical-oem-somerville-bionic-amd64-20180608-47+berlinetta-cfl-r+X77 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-08-28 (105 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 "Bionic" - Build amd64 LIVE Binary 20180608-09:38 Package: apport 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.9 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-1065.75-oem 4.15.18 Tags: bionic Uname: Linux 4.15.0-1065-oem x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True ** Affects: apport (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-collected bionic ** Attachment added: "Screenshot" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856255/+attachment/5312077/+files/apporta.png ** Tags added: apport-collected bionic ** Description changed: I typed “apport-bug ifconfig” because ifconfig was wrongly behaving.
