Title:
Send the apport data collected for a known bug number
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
In many cases it occurred to me that I know an exact Launchpad Bug Id
that is happening to me but I would like to add my case to the
comments and therefore I open APPORT to get the data
(dependencies.txt, etc) for my case.
Then when apport redirects me to the Launchpad Generate New Bug and
asks me to put the 'Summary' of the bug to search, I can't introduce
the ID of such known bug. Even if I try to put some words of the title
from the known bug, it doesn't show up in the list of suggested bugs.
I think fixing this it will save many duplicated bugs being created in
Launchpad.
Suggestions:
- In that summary page it could already ask me if I know the ID of the known
Launchpad Bug that I want to add info to.
