Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

While "/usr/share/apport/apport-kde -u 532898" does work as expected, "ubuntu-bug -u 532898" opens the "report by symptom" dialog.

This is related to
  export APPORT_INVOKED_AS="$0"
in /usr/bin/ubuntu-bug - commenting this line makes "-u" work as expected, too.

After digging into the code (apport/ui.py) this is caused by:
        # no argument: default to "show pending crashes" except when called in
        # bug mode
        if len(self.args) == 0 and cmd.endswith('-bug'):
            self.options.filebug = True
            return
self.args is empty in most cases, and what's meant to get checked here is apparently sys.argv.

I'll attach a branch to fix this.

Nice catch, thanks! Applied to trunk (r1717), thus I didn't merge your branch directly (it doesn't apply to trunk).

Martin: there are two branches: one for trunk and one for the lucid packaging. I guess you've merged the latter in the former?!

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 1.13-0ubuntu1

---------------
apport (1.13-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - Add "unkillable_shutdown" script to collect information about processes
      which are still running after sending SIGTERM to them. This can be
      hooked into e. g. /etc/init.d/sendsigs on Debian/Ubuntu systems.
    - apport_python_hook.py: Directly check /etc/default/apport instead of
      querying packaging.enabled(), to avoid importing lots of modules for
      non-packaged scripts. Thanks Stuart Colville! (LP: #528355)
    - Fix SegV parser to notice walking off the stack during "call" or "ret"
      (LP: #531672).
    - Fix --help output for bug updating mode (invocation as apport-collect or
      apport-update-bug). (LP: #504116)
    - Fix bug escalation tagging, thanks to Brian Murray.
    - Fix option processing when being invoked as apport-bug. Thanks to Daniel
      Hahler for the patch! (LP: #532944)
  * debian/apport.install: Install unkillable_shutdown.
