[Bug 1697146] Re: Unable to report gnome-shell bugs prior to the first software update (claims gnome-shell is not an official ubuntu package)

[Brian Murray]

I believe there is an existing bug report about apport regarding this
matter but I didn't find it immediately. That being said bug 1050569 is
about the same issue, apt information not being up to date, and has
comment from Martin Pitt about why he doesn't want to run apt-get update
when filing a bug report. Although maybe with changes to apt somewhat
documented in bug 1686470 there is a way to check if the system has had
'apt-get update' run one time. If that's true than apport could only run
apt-get update if it has never been run.

** Summary changed:

- Unable to report gnome-shell bugs prior to the first software update (claims gnome-shell is not an official ubuntu package)
+ Unable to use apport to report any bugs prior to the first software update
