You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I am running Ubuntu 12.05, and most things work fine.
However I am having a bug with the updater, which can't determine which package and fails to report, so I have been trying to report that bug manually, so:

I hit Alt+F2 and typed "ubuntu-bug".

I get the Apport window asking what kind of problem I want to report.

If I choose "ubuntu-release-upgrader-core" a window appears saying it is
gathering information which then goes away and leaves me with nothing.

If I choose "other problem", I get a window saying I need to specify a
package or PID, but there was no place to do that, and I don't know them
anyway, and putting my best guesses as arguments to ubuntu-bug just
gives me a dialog saying the package name is invalid and it couldn't
determine the package or PID.

So these tools give me no way to report the bug I am seeing, which I
will report separately since it is a different bug (update-apt-xapian-
index fails on startup).
