Bug Description

== Impact ==

12.04 LTS users are unable to report a bug about the distribution upgrade process using the instructions provided by the distribution upgrade tarball.

== Test Case ==

On a 12.04 LTS system:
1) run 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core'
2) observe error message titled 'Invalid problem report' that says 'Package ubuntu-release-upgrader-core does not exist'
Install apport-symptoms from -proposed
1) run 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core'
2) click yes when asked if this is a distribution upgrade
3) click cancel when asked about sending error report

== Details ==
ubuntu-release-upgrader has multiple error messages that say:

                details += _("If none of this applies, then please report this bug using "
                             "the command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal.")

This works great if you have ubuntu-release-upgrader-core installed but you won't if you are upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 as ubuntu-release-upgrader-core is a new package in 12.10. Instead you'll receive an error message that ubuntu-release-upgrader-core does not exist.

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apport-symptoms into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport-symptoms/0.16.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

I tested this using apport-symptoms version 0.16 from precise and was unable to report a bug about ubuntu-release-upgrader-core. Using apport-symptoms version 0.16.1 from precise-proposed a bug report regarding update-manager was created which is the desired behavior.
