[Bug 2048112] Re: Ubuntu-bug ask for password to find out that bug is for snap app and gives info where to report. Instead it should save resources and check that first

[Simon Chopin]

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

I confirmed this issue (along with the one with firefox snap vs deb).

This is a bit bigger of an issue, as it means some non-privileged users
won't be able to report issues (or at least would give up as soon as the
prompt comes up), thus marking as Medium.

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

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

** Summary changed:

- Ubuntu-bug ask for password to find out that bug is for snap app and gives info where to report. Instead it should save resources and check that first
+ Ubuntu-bug prompts for admin password before selecting the target package
