Title:
  apport-bug with no arguments lists wrong symptoms, hangs

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  "man apport-bug" says "you should always start with running apport-bug
  without  arguments,  which  will present  a  list  of  known
  symptoms".

  I ran "apport-bug" from the shell.
  An "Apport" dialog appears offering me 5 choices starting with "Other problem" and ending with "Display (X.org)".
  I selected "Other Problem" and pressed "[OK]".
  A "Collecting Problem Information" dialog appeared, with a moving progress indicator, and another "Apport" dialog appeared:

      What display problem do you observe?
      ( ) Other display-related problem
      ( ) Fonts are the wrong size
      ( ) Performance is worse than expected
      ( ) Shows screen corruption
      ( ) Resolution is incorrect
      ( ) Crashes or restarts back to login screen
      ( ) Freezes or hangs during boot or usage
      ( ) I don't know
              [OK]  [Cancel]

  This looks like the symptom list for "Display (X.org)", not "Other
  problem".

  I pressed "[Cancel]" in the Apport dialog.  Neither dialog closed, but
  the progress indicator in "Collecting Problem Information" froze.
  Neither dialog would close after that.  I had to return to the shell,
  suspend apport-bug with Ctrl-Z, and kill it with "kill %1".
