Title:
ubuntu-bug refuses to file bug reports for packages that aren't
installed due to packaging problems
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Ubuntu-bug makes it very difficult to file package problem bugs for
packages that won't install (due to said problems), because it refuses
to open a bug for a package that isn't installed. If a package isn't
installed, I'd recommend that ubuntu-bug collect information about the
package and its dependencies as seen from the local apt cache, as well
as any conflicts that prevent it from being installed.
