This has a compelling reason given a fair amount of original reporters
are doing so via Server OSes (i.e. no GUI).
This would want to be addressed as resources become available to ease
triaging, and server original report confusion.

** Description changed:
It is essential that apport-collect works on a headless/non-X installs
in order to report bugs. In this case, apport-collect tries to use a
text-based browser to attempt to login to Launchpad.
- I tried lynx, links2, elinks and w3m, of which only w3m worked. With
- elinks I get the following message: "Your Page Was Stale" after
- selecting "continue".
-
- To make apport-collect work, execute the following:
-
- sudo apt-get install w3m
- sudo update-alternatives --set www-browser /usr/bin/w3m
+ I tried lynx, links2, elinks and w3m. With elinks I get the following
+ message: "Your Page Was Stale" after selecting "continue".
This bug is related to #556927, #645024 and #683337. As these only
concern the functioning of w3m, I would here like to raise the issue
that a proper installation must make sure that a compatible text-based
browser is installed and set as default.
+
+ WORKAROUND: Execute the following:
+ sudo apt-get install w3m
+ sudo update-alternatives --set www-browser /usr/bin/w3m
