Bug Description
[ Impact ]
It can be challenging to report distribution upgrade bugs about ubuntu-
[ Test Case ]
1) run ubuntu-bug ubuntu-
2) observe a dialog saying that the package does not exist
After installing the version from -proposed you'll see an apport dialog with information about ubuntu-
[ Regression Potential ]
None, as it did not work before.
Original Description
-------
I was wondering why so many people report about ubuntu-
I think I know it now.
If you give to command line:
ubuntu-bug ubuntu-
upgrader"
you will see a popup that informs you that such a package do not exist.
The correct command would be
ubuntu-bug ubuntu-
, but I think this is not known to much reporter, also because launchpad itself list all only as "ubuntu-
The people just not see how to name correctly for apport.
This should be treat with,...well is a redirect possible?!

This does not work because ubuntu- release- upgrader is a source package. However, the error messages in ubuntu- release- upgrader itself indicate that one should use a binary package with ubuntu-bug, e.g. ubuntu-bug ubuntu- release- upgrader core as you've mentioned. See:
#: ../DistUpgrade/ DistUpgradeCach e.py:706 release- upgrader- core' in a terminal."
msgid ""
"If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the command "
"'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-
Having said that it'd still be good if people could use "ubuntu-bug ubuntu- release- upgrader" . This was previously mentioned in a different bug report and I'm copying the comment here.
"On IRC you also asked about "apport-bug ubuntu- release- upgrader" . As this is not a (binary) package name, this won't work. If this is desired, apport-symptoms should get a new symptom with that name (and perhaps a few aliases like "release-upgrade" and "upgrade" while we are at it) which simply redirects the report to "ubuntu- release- upgrader- core"; see /usr/share/ doc/apport/ symptoms. txt ." - Martin Pitt
Writing this symptom makes sense and it had just slipped off my to do list.
