Title:
  ubuntu-bug asks for sudo password midway through collection [linux-
  image-server hook]

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When running ubuntu-bug manually through an SSH session, without
  recently using sudo, this happened:

  ryan at nibbler:~$ ubuntu-bug linux-image-server

  *** Collecting problem information

  The collected information can be sent to the developers to improve the
  application. This might take a few minutes.
  .......[sudo] password for ryan: .........................

  
  At that point, I cancelled, since I was not sure if it was sudo itself or another process that has control of readline.  Running a trivial sudo command ("sudo ls") then re-running ubuntu-bug prevented this from happening again.
