Before the report sends, it certainly does say that it will open the
report in the web browser. If one's paying attention, one should realize
they don't have one. It actually tells you this twice. If you go all the
way through, you do get xdg-open's usual "no method" complaint.

For that matter, should we choose to solve this with documentation,
people will have to pay close attention to the documentation we provide
to realize it won't work. The fact that the Ubuntu wiki page on
reporting bugs doesn't really expressly mention the requirement of the
browser further complicates things, but there again, they'd have to pay
attention.

My suggestion? Don't require a browser. I'm inclined to call this an
apport bug. Even when looking at what folks do with Ubuntu Server, they
still require a (text-based) browser and yet there are bugs that
reference how that doesn't work
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/997020), either,
so as far as I can tell, it's still a problem.


** Package changed: lubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) => apport (Ubuntu)
