Title:
  Cryptic error from GUI selection of 'other'

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  Running Kubuntu Lucid Beta 1, if you run apport-bug or ubuntu-bug with
  no options and click "Other Problem" twice, you receive the following
  error message:

  This is expected as there is no "tty" allocated when running commands
  directly via ssh. Adding the "-t" flag will allocate a tty and prevent
  sudo from echoing the password.

  For more information, please see:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#SSH

  This makes very little sense in the context and is further complicated
  by the fact that running it with -t gives an error message about -t
  not being a recognized option.

  Running apport-bug/ubuntu-bug with a package (as was done for this
  report) works fine.
