This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.14

---------------
apport (2.20.1-0ubuntu2.14) xenial; urgency=medium

  * bin/apport-cli: read until <enter> instead of a single character when # of
    apport options is non-unique with a single character. Thanks to Chad Smith
    for the patch. (LP: #1722564)

Bug description:
  === Begin SRU Template ===
  [Impact]
  Packages which provide apport integration with more than 9 options in a choice will not be able to select options numbered >= 10 on the commandline using 'ubuntu-bug <package-name>'

  
  [Test Case]
  Overview:
   1. Update to proposed versions of cloud-init v. 17.1 and apport v. <X>
   2. Run 'ubuntu-bug cloud-init' attempt to report a bug on a cloud choice greater than 9
   3. View report and make sure the proper cloud is reported


  Script:
  if [ ! -f './lxc-proposed-snapshot' ]; then
    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloud-init/ubuntu-sru/master/bin/lxc-proposed-snapshot;
    chmod 755 lxc-proposed-snapshot;
  fi

  for release in xenial artful; do
          ref=$release-proposed;
          echo "$release START --------------";
          lxc-proposed-snapshot --proposed --publish $release $ref;
          lxc init $ref test-$release;
          lxc start test-$release;
          lxc exec test-$release -- apt install apport;
          lxc exec test-$release -- dpkg-query --show apport;
          lxc exec test-$release -- ubuntu-bug cloud-init;
  done

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal. This bug only affects packages with >9 bug filing options for a given choice. Worst case, is bugs filed would incorrectly represent option 1 of a selection instead of option 1X.

  
  === End SRU Template ===

  === original description ===
  the newly added cloud-init apport support shows a list of cloud providers and asks the user to select one.  There are currently 18 options.  For any option > 10, apport will just take the '1' that is typed as the answer.

  It should obviously wait for more than one character or a carriage
  return.

  instance is running
