Public bug reported:

     Following the instructions in the Boot Troubleshooting Guide
https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/ia64/boot-troubleshooting.html
to try to report a problem with an installation, I ran "aptitude install installation-report reportbug",
then "reportbug installation-reports".

     The instructions should have mentioned that I would have to run
"apt-get install aptitude".

     Running "reportbug installation-reports" produces
*** ERROR: "Ubuntu" BTS is currently unsupported. Please use "ubuntu-bug" (from
the apport package) for reporting bugs in Ubuntu. You can report bugs to Debian
by specifying 'bts debian' in your ~/.reportbugrc or by passing the -B debian
option on the commandline (see reportbug(1)).
