You have been subscribed to a public bug by Martin Pitt (pitti):

apport 1.94.1-0ubuntu2, Ubuntu 12.04 beta 1

When a "Sorry, Ubuntu has experienced an internal error" alert appears,
it has a checkbox: "Ignore future problems of this program version".

That text is technically correct, but it does not make sense for
internal errors. As far as a non-investigating Ubuntu user is concerned,
when an internal error occurs it is "Ubuntu" that had the error, not a
"program".

As shown in <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker#error>, the text
should be "Ignore future problems of this type".
