[Bug 1408700] [NEW] Unhelpful no package specified message for other problems...
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:
apport:
Installed: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8
Candidate: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8
Version table:
