Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,
Accepted apport into cosmic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/2.20.10-0ubuntu13.1 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.
If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-cosmic to verification-done-cosmic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-cosmic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.
Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in
advance for helping!
N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
ubuntu-bug with program path says as a snap does not belong to a
package
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Bionic:
In Progress
Status in apport source package in Cosmic:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
[Impact]
ubuntu-bug responds with a misleading statement asked to report a bug about an executable path which starts with /snap/bin and the response is different than if you were to use the snap name e.g. ubuntu-bug juju
[Test Case]
1) Run ubuntu-bug /snap/bin/juju
2) Read "/snap/bin/juju does not belong to a package"
With the version of apport in -proposed you'll receive a more
informative message about where you might get help regarding the issue
you are experiencing.
[Regression Potential]
The new code only affects executables that start with '/snap/bin' so the only danger is if the newly added code contains an error which would cause a traceback.
Original Report
---------------
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.
