Packages
on a ubuntu artful machine:
1) install torbrowser-launcher from bionic(even though you are running
artful)*
2) ubuntu-bug torbrowser-launcher
result: ubuntu-bug refuses to send a bug report, claiming that it's a
non-ubuntu, third party package
full error message:
"The problem cannot be reported:
This is not an official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third
party package and try again"
This is not strictly speaking true. While it's a bionic version, not an
artful version - it is a ubuntu version.
expected behavior:
* Failing to report the bug is more or less fine - but if it fails, it
should fail with an acknowledgement that the user is trying to report a
bug against a future version.
or
* ubuntu-bug should allow the report of bugs with a 'future' version, so that
people like myself who are testing bionic packages even in an unsupported setup
can feed bug reports about those packages before they hit the mainstream ubuntu
user. That would make this bug probably a duplicate of other bugs like
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/443961
if so.
*this is the suggested workaround for the complete nonfunctional version
in artful.
