Public bug reported: I've tried to report bug against uvcvideo in dmesg. `ubuntu-bug` refused with the message "The report belongs to a package that is not installed".
http://imgur.com/a/GXtov The message is wrong - it is not that there is a package that is not installed, there is no such package at all http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=uvcvideo&searchon=names§ion=all Apport could do this check and provide a link package search in that popup message. And if this bug is fixed, it will be possible to fill another request - when the package is not found, make an additional lookup for name in drivers shipped by default with kernel. I can try to make a patch if somebody can enlighten me on a TRUE way to make a package name lookup from apport. Ideally offline, but online is fine too if there is no way. ** Affects: apport (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1655874 Title: Better error message for missing names Status in apport package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I've tried to report bug against uvcvideo in dmesg. `ubuntu-bug` refused with the message "The report belongs to a package that is not installed". http://imgur.com/a/GXtov The message is wrong - it is not that there is a package that is not installed, there is no such package at all http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=uvcvideo&searchon=names§ion=all Apport could do this check and provide a link package search in that popup message.
