[Bug 1505368] Re: Bug reports after segmentation fault are never generated

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

This is still an issue in Ubuntu 16.10/2.20.3-0ubuntu8 and has been in
all Ubuntu versions in between.

It is hard to tell what is supposed to happen because apport doesn't
give any feedback. I guess, a browser is supposed to open where the
report can be completed _or_ the report is uploaded automatically in
which case I didn't managed to find it in the last cases where I tried
to search it with the title displayed in the `apport` dialog or the list
of recent bugs of the affected application on launchpad.net. I also see
no entry in the list of reports on my launchpad.net profile sorted by
age.

** Description changed:

  After `apport` recognizes a segmentation fault it displays a dialog
  which allows to close or restart the application and contains a checkbox
  which offers the option to file a bug online. Even if the box is checked
  no online form to open a new bug report is opened in the browser (as
  described on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport).
