Title:
  Bad behavior when no PID/program is specified.

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  Run ubuntu-bug (with no command line options). It will present 5 radio
  boxes. Select "Other problem." Click "OK".

  ubuntu-bug will show a dialog that states "No package specified/You
  need to specify a package or a PID See -- help for more information,"
  and a Close button. There are no help buttons, and no man page.

  In the dialog, the "--" is on a separate line from "help," so it is
  not at all clear that this is a command line option (see attached
  screenshot). From a user's perspective, ubuntu-bug dies, and there is
  no indication as to what is going wrong, how to fix it, or how to get
  more information. Even "run ubuntu-bug --help for more information"
  would be useful, but more useful would be to give some sort of
  appropriate well-defined behavior (e.g. ask the user for a file name
  or package name).
