Public bug reported:

When using apport-cli with a crash report e.g.:

sudo apport.apport-cli
/var/snap/apport/current/crash/_usr_sbin_sshd.0.crash

You are presented with some options:

*** Send problem report to the developers?

After the problem report has been sent, please fill out the form in the
automatically opened web browser.

What would you like to do? Your options are:
  S: Send report (355.6 KB)
  E: Examine locally
  V: View report
  K: Keep report file for sending later or copying to somewhere else
  I: Cancel and ignore future crashes of this program version
  C: Cancel

If you choose option 'K', nothing is done to the report while if you
choose 'S' or 'E' or 'V' apport will collect additional information (run
apport hooks and package hooks) and write that to the report.  I think
if you are choosing to keep the report it should also be updated.

** Affects: apport (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
