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

[Clemens Drüe]

Please ignore my referal to apport. I made a copy-paste error. I wanted to include:
# apt-cache policy update-manager-core
update-manager-core:
  Installed: 1:20.04.10.1
  Candidate: 1:20.04.10.1
  Version table:
 *** 1:20.04.10.1 500
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1:20.04.9 500
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main i386 Packages

Well and the problem I have is that when is ask ubuntu-bug to open a bug
report for update-manager-core, it replies that ubuntu-release-upgrader
is not installed. This is true, but not the expected outcome, as I
wanted to file a bug in update-manager-core, not in ubuntu-release-
upgrader.

Or am I doing something wrong?

  I tried to submit a bug in update-manager-core typing.
  $ ubuntu-bug update-manager-core

  Expected outcome: 
  geneate bug report for update-manager-core

  Actual outcome:
  pretends that package is not installed:
  [...]

  i.e. it looks for a completely different package !
