Title:
  Bogus error message "No packages found matching linux", no success
  feedback; actually uploads information though

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The following command:
    apport-collect -p linux 715855
  seems to fail, with the nonsense error message: "No packages found matching linux". It prints this error message and nothing else, so it seems to fail. Then you find out it has actually uploaded the log files and attached them to the bug report.

  Expected behavior: it shouldn't give that error message (a package
  called "linux" obviously exist) and if something is actually failing
  it should give proper information about what has failed. AND it should
  either open a browser window where you can see the updated bug report,
  or print a message indicating that the files were uploaded
  succesfully.
