Title:
  ubuntu-bug with program path says as a snap does not belong to a
  package

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  apport's ui.py file contains the following code:

   809         # executable?
   810         elif '/' in self.args[0]:
   811             pkg = apport.packaging.get_file_package(self.args[0])
   812             if not pkg:
   813                 optparser.error('%s does not belong to a package.' % self.args[0])
   814                 sys.exit(1)
   815             self.args = []
   816             self.options.filebug = True
   817             self.options.package = pkg

  This will not provide any useful information about what to do if the
  'executable' is provided by a snap. Information similar to
  https://code.launchpad.net/~juliank/ubuntu/bionic/apport/snap/+merge/342207
  should be provided if the path is from a snap.
