[Bug 1731610] Re: add --save option to apport-collect

[Brian Murray]

apport-collect is used to gather additional information about a bug
reported in Launchpad so requires an internet connection to work.
Additionally, if you do have an internet connection you can choose to
keep the report for filing later. So I this is bug isn't really valid.

 $ apport-collect 1760220
   
*** Collecting problem information
   
The collected information can be sent to the developers to improve the
application. This might take a few minutes.
............

*** 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 (5.7 KB)
  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
Please choose (S/V/K/I/C): k
Problem report file: /tmp/apport.apport.dea1bbst.apport

Title:
  add --save option to apport-collect

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The `--save` option of `apport-bug` allows collected and generated
  data to be save in a file and to use the data for a report later. It'd
  be nice if `apport-collect` would have this function since collecting
  the data for an update and having an internet connection might not be
  possible at all times.
