Oh it gets even better with the 'new & improved' system... just tried to
report a bug on launchpad via launchpad without apport & guess where you
end up if you click the 'Report a bug' link? Yep:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
Example:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/software-center
Click on the Report a bug link...
(wanted to file a bug that software-center removes software-store but
fails to remove the menu item for (Ubuntu Software Store) software-store
in System|Administration).
So then I decide to try the Applications|System Tools|Report a problem|
route... screen goes dark & nothing happens until I hit key.
So then I find that the *only* way I can file a report is to use apport
(via the applications Help|Report a problem). You can admire my shiny
new 1st bug report on software-center here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/437354
