[Bug 359810] Re: support filing bugs against source packages
I really don't want to support filing bugs against source packages in
apport. But the original request here was indeed not for "apport-bug
srcpkg", but for apport-collect, which is a legitimate bug indeed.
Retitling accordingly, to match the title of the just duplicated bug
886586.
** Summary changed:
- support filing bugs against source packages
+ apport-collect won't submit updates to a bug assigned to a source package when only a binary package of another name from that source is installed
** Project changed: launchpad => apport
** Changed in: apport
Status: Invalid => Triaged
** Changed in: apport
Importance: Undecided => Low
** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu)
Importance: Wishlist => Low
** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu)
Assignee: (unassigned) => Martin Pitt (pitti)
** No longer affects: apport

Title:
apport-collect won't submit updates to a bug assigned to a source
package when only a binary package of another name from that source is
installed
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
When you run "apport-collect <bug-number>" on a bug filed against
xorg-server, apport-collect just errors out:
Package xorg-server not installed and no hook available, ignoring
No additional information collected.
See bug #576621 as an example.
Similarly,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+filebug#form-
start
gives the following advice for filing bugs:
xorg-server (Ubuntu) guidelines:
Please report bugs against xorg-server with this command:
$ ubuntu-bug -p xorg-server
Since xorg-server is a source package, ubuntu-bug says the package
doesn't exist. I'm not sure of the intended design, so I'm not sure
if this is bad advice, a launchpad problem, or an ubuntu-bug problem.
