Thanks for helping me - yes, that clarifies it. Maybe exactly the sentence you write here to explain it to me would be good to have in the --help and man page?
Closer to the root, to me, these things that are referred to as "symptom" are more an "area of occurence" where the symptoms appear. For example, a symptom to me would be "broken and distorted sound" - not "sound". I assume that it's not an option / easy to rename this completely, at least it's not just a documentation rephrasing and needs changes in many places. But maybe it's something that could be taken in consideration for sometime in the future. -- 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/2044127 Title: ubuntu-but does not accept "program" paramater as documented in --help Status in apport package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: ubuntu-bug --help says $ ubuntu-bug --help usage: ubuntu-bug [options] [symptom|pid|package|program path|.apport/.crash file] which suggest I can type a symptom after "ubuntu-bug" that I want to report. But doing something like: $ ubuntu-bug "Ubuntu Software tells me at every boot that it installed important OS update 'UEFI dbx'" only results in the error: dpkg-query: no packages found matching Ubuntu The man page of ubuntu-bug states that the symptoms are asked for when I run "ubuntu-bug" without parameters. So the --help output is wrong or the program is lacking some fallback if the message given as sysmptom is neither a pid, nor a package name nor a program path nor a crash file, the given parameter must be accepted as a symptom description. Probably the easiest part to solve that is to remove the nonworking symptom parameter from the --help output as long as that is not working.
