Title:
apport-collect won't submit updates to a bug assigned to a source
package when only a binary package of another name from that source is
installed
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
When you run "apport-collect <bug-number>" on a bug filed against
xorg-server, apport-collect just errors out:
Package xorg-server not installed and no hook available, ignoring
No additional information collected.
See bug #576621 as an example.
Similarly,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+filebug#form-
start
gives the following advice for filing bugs:
xorg-server (Ubuntu) guidelines:
Please report bugs against xorg-server with this command:
$ ubuntu-bug -p xorg-server
Since xorg-server is a source package, ubuntu-bug says the package
doesn't exist. I'm not sure of the intended design, so I'm not sure
if this is bad advice, a launchpad problem, or an ubuntu-bug problem.
