[Bug 2047999] Re: Ubuntu-bug thinks i have 2 firefox installed

[Simon Chopin]

Hi, thanks for taking the time to report this issue and contributing to
Ubuntu :)

I just confirmed on my system.

Since the number of transitional packages is fairly small, I think we
should just maintain a hardcoded list in Apport and hide the .deb by
default (with maybe a way to override this?)

Marking as Low priority, since this is IMHO something of a papercut
(still annoying, though!)

** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged

** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

** Summary changed:

- Ubuntu-bug thinks i have 2 firefox installed
+ ubuntu-bug shows both the snap and the transitional deb
