[Bug 1907078] Re: ubuntu-bug reports installed package is not installed

[Chris Guiver]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

There is no package named `ubuntu-manager-core`

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords
=ubuntu-manager-core

You start with what looks like an `apt-cache policy apport` but then
switch to trying to `ubuntu-bug` a different (non-existent) package?
Sorry I'm confused.

It may help if you better explain your issue.

Also, please execute the following command only once, as it will
automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:

apport-collect 1907078

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-
bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this
functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.
