Title:
  apport-bug collects wrong data when using questions

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  I reported a different bug using apport-bug. In that report it guessed
  the wrong packet and collected data from packages I do not use. It
  reported the running software as gnome-screensaver while I actually
  run xscreensaver. The bug report is found on
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/597071

  Steps to reproduce:
  run
  % apport-bug
  answer the questions as
  * Security related problem
  * Other screen locking issue

  The result being that a lot of gnome package configs were reported
  even though I do not run those programs.
