[Bug 1173913] Re: bugreporting for ubuntu-release-upgrader ist struggling on naming issue

[Brian Murray]

This does not work because ubuntu-release-upgrader is a source package.
However, the error messages in ubuntu-release-upgrader itself indicate
that one should use a binary package with ubuntu-bug, e.g. ubuntu-bug
ubuntu-release-upgrader core as you've mentioned.  See:

#: ../DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py:706
msgid ""
"If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the command "
"'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal."

Having said that it'd still be good if people could use "ubuntu-bug
ubuntu-release-upgrader".  This was previously mentioned in a different
bug report and I'm copying the comment here.

"On IRC you also asked about "apport-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader". As
this is not a (binary) package name, this won't work. If this is
desired, apport-symptoms should get a new symptom with that name (and
perhaps a few aliases like "release-upgrade" and "upgrade" while we are
at it) which simply redirects the report to "ubuntu-release-upgrader-
core"; see /usr/share/doc/apport/symptoms.txt ." - Martin Pitt

Writing this symptom makes sense and it had just slipped off my to do
list.

Bug description:
  I was wondering why so many people report about ubuntu-release-
  upgrader without using apport for this.

  I think I know it now.

  If you give to command line:

  ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader
  upgrader"
  you will see a popup that informs you that such a package do not exist.

  The correct command would be

  ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core

  , but I think this is not known to much reporter, also because
  launchpad itself list all only as "ubuntu-release-upgrader"

  The people just not see how to name correctly for apport.

  
  This should be treat with,...well is a redirect possible?!
