apport fails to open browser window to complete bug submission

[Rachel Greenham]

... of course it did it this time, as a result of typing 'ubuntu-bug apport' in order to report this; but *normally* when I encounter some application crash and the usual apport dialogue comes up offering to send a report to the developers, etc., and I click "Continue", the apport window disappears and nothing further happens. So the bugs aren't getting reported.

I suppose it could be that they fall into either "you're running an old version, update" (unlikely, I'm an update-fetishist!), or a "the developers are already aware of this one" case, but it used to at least say so if that was the case. As it is at the moment, there's just nothing happening, and it looks like it's broken, hence this report.

I've also wondered if it's a "saucy isn't even in *alpha* yet! go away until it is!" ;-) But I wouldn't mind being told that either. :-)

(btw, default browser is google chrome - which worked fine just now in the "ubuntu-bug <package>" case, so i don't think that's the problem. I'd have thought if it was you could always just force the use of a supported in-repo browser whatever the default is?)
