With the version of apport from -proposed the apport dialog will not appear. Original report --------------- Ubuntu 12.04 apport 2.6.1-0ubuntu10, Ubuntu 12.10 apport 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2, Ubuntu 13.10 1. In a release version of Ubuntu, trigger an error in something that has Apport hooks. What happens: You are asked questions which are often false and usually not understandable. For example: "It seems you have modified the contents of '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf'. Would you like to add the contents of it to your bug report?" https://launchpadlibrarian.net/124496439/apport-question.png -- You haven't, and there is no bug report. "Thanks for reporting this bug on unity. Is the issue you are reporting purely graphical (will report more information about your graphic configuration and will report the bug against compiz)?" https://launchpadlibrarian.net/117922627/apport%20%28ubuntu-bug%20unity%20%231%29.png -- "Purely grapical" is unexplained, and there is no bug report. "Did your system recently lock up or require a hard reboot?" -- What's a "hard reboot"? What should happen: You are not asked any questions. If all reporters of actual bugs are expected to use English, hiding these questions from non-reporters might also resolve bug 855337.
