nico, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
To advise, you shouldn't be running apport-collect to a report on
Launchpad you aren't the original reporter of. Launchpad typically
blocks this type of action, so this may be intended behavior.
Despite this, can you please advise what happens when you run:
ubuntu-bug linux

Title:
Permission denied when running apport-collect
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I tried several times to launch apport-collect 1651520 but it failed
everytime:
The authorization page:
(https://launchpad.net/+authorize-token?oauth_token=Xp4CFWJ01GvW7QPhMfq8&allow_permission=DESKTOP_INTEGRATION)
should be opening in your browser. Use your browser to authorize
this program to access Launchpad on your behalf.
Waiting to hear from Launchpad about your decision...
ERROR: connecting to Launchpad failed: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/home/nicolas/.cache/apport/launchpad.credentials'
You can reset the credentials by removing the file
"/home/nicolas/.cache/apport/launchpad.credentials"
I've tried successively to "Allow nicolas-MS-7808 to access my
Launchpad account:" "for an hour", "for a week", "until I disable it",
apport-collect failed everytime with the same message.
Note that running:
rm /home/nicolas/.cache/apport/launchpad.credentials
return:
rm: impossible de supprimer
'/home/nicolas/.cache/apport/launchpad.credentials': Aucun fichier ou dossier
