That's right! We had a small bug that caused apport submissions to fail
over the end-of-year holidays, but it's been fixed since yesterday and
you should be good to go with it. If you'd like more information about
apport and how it integrates with LP, just ask and we'll tell you more.

You can also file a bug manually and attach the stack trace or core. Do
keep in mind the core can contain information about your system that
some people consider a privacy issue. I personally don't believe in
ghosts (or privacy).
