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

  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?!

  package is called ubuntu-release-upgrader-core.

  2) observer a dialog saying that the package does not exist

  After installing the version from -proposed you'll see an apport
  dialog with information about ubuntu-release-upgrader-core e.g.
  Package: ubuntu-release-upgrader-core.

  [ Regression Potential ]
  None, as it did not work before.
