[Bug 1631748] Re: ubuntu-bug selects wrong category

[Paul White]

Reassigning against apport as xorg is not at fault here.

** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => apport (Ubuntu)

Title:
  ubuntu-bug selects wrong category

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The ubuntu-bug tool always assumes an xorg bug when I select "other".

  For example, selecting "other problem" on the first screen and then "I
  don't know" will create an xorg bug report, even though I want to
  report another problem (e.g. grub).

  The selection in the first screen apparently is not honored, which
  makes reporting bugs (including bugs about ubuntu-bug) quite
  difficult.

  (Also, the launchpad package search dialog reports an "OOPS-xxx"
  error.)
