Thanks for reporting. I can confirm this issue with the manpage included in apport 2.17.2-0ubuntu1.1 on Ubuntu 15.04. Note that the manpage do mention apport-cli under options, and it looks like ubuntu-bug accepts the same options. These are documented in apport-cli, but this should be clarified somehow for those reading the manpage.
Since ubuntu-bug is an alias for apport-bug, this might be a duplicate of bug 1071930. It is at least a strongly related one. ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Tags added: bitesize manpage string-fix vivid ** Summary changed: - documentation: omissions/inconsistencies + documentation: omissions/inconsistencies regarding options in ubuntu-bug manpage -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1395307 Title: documentation: omissions/inconsistencies regarding options in ubuntu- bug manpage Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: "man ubuntu-bug" doesn't contain any information about possible command line switches (like ubuntu-bug -w for finding the appropriate package by pointing at an open window) - one only can find those by invoking "ubuntu-bug --help" I expected to get a short help with --help but to get all pertinent switches via the man page ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 Package: apport 2.14.7-0ubuntu8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-24.32-generic 3.16.4 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-24-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Sat Nov 22 13:07:36 2014 PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: apport UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to utopic on 2014-11-22 (0 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1395307/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
