[Bug 1760220] [NEW] ubuntu-bug with program path says as a snap does not belong to a package

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

apport's ui.py file contains the following code:

 809         # executable?
 810         elif '/' in self.args[0]:
 811             pkg = apport.packaging.get_file_package(self.args[0])
 812             if not pkg:
 813                 optparser.error('%s does not belong to a package.' % self.args[0])
 814                 sys.exit(1)
 815             self.args = []
 816             self.options.filebug = True
 817             self.options.package = pkg

This will not provide any useful information about what to do if the
'executable' is provided by a snap. Information similar to
https://code.launchpad.net/~juliank/ubuntu/bionic/apport/snap/+merge/342207
should be provided if the path is from a snap.
