Public bug reported:

I have found that it is very unhelpful when I run Apport with this code
in Terminal:

ubuntu-bug

And when I get this menu: http://i.stack.imgur.com/ib1Dr.png And select
the option "Other problem" I get a very unclear error message:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/VnDYN.png Why have an option to report other
problems if it just tells you that you have not specified a package? I
would have thought that selecting the "Other problems" option would be
equivalent to selecting the "I don't know" option on LaunchPad when
selecting a package.


My System information is:

Description:	Ubuntu 14.10
Release:	14.10


Apport version:

  Installed: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8
