Title:
  Apport-collect needs webbrowser to access launchpad

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Apport-collect tries to open an URL to log into launchpad with OAuth,
  even when the X-server is not running.

  The launchpad OAuth login page is not compatible with links2 (text
  based browser), which makes apport-collect difficult or even
  impossible to use for X-server bugs.
