This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.5
---------------
apport (2.20.9-0ubuntu7.5) bionic; urgency=medium
* apport/ui.py: when using ubuntu-bug properly handle executables which
start with /snap/bin. (LP: #1760220)
* test/test_ui_gtk.py: Increase the timeout so that when the autopkgtest
infrastructure is busy the tests should not fail. (LP: #1780767)

Title:
ubuntu-bug with program path says as a snap does not belong to a
package
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Bionic:
Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Cosmic:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
ubuntu-bug responds with a misleading statement asked to report a bug about
an executable path which starts with /snap/bin and the response is different
than if you were to use the snap name e.g. ubuntu-bug juju
[Test Case]
1) Run ubuntu-bug /snap/bin/juju
2) Read "/snap/bin/juju does not belong to a package"
With the version of apport in -proposed you'll receive a more
informative message about where you might get help regarding the issue
you are experiencing.
[Regression Potential]
The new code only affects executables that start with '/snap/bin' so the only
danger is if the newly added code contains an error which would cause a
traceback.
Original Report
---------------
apport's ui.py file contains the following code:
809 # executable?
810 elif '/' in self.args[0]:
811 pkg = apport.packaging.get_file_package(self.args[0])
812 if not pkg:
813 optparser.error('%s does not belong to a package.' %
self.args[0])
814 sys.exit(1)
815 self.args = []
816 self.options.filebug = True
817 self.options.package = pkg
This will not provide any useful information about what to do if the
'executable' is provided by a snap. Information similar to
https://code.launchpad.net/~juliank/ubuntu/bionic/apport/snap/+merge/342207
should be provided if the path is from a snap.
