Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and recently I received a message that Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is available and asking me if I wanted to upgrade. I chose yes and I was presented with a window that told me some packages are going to be added and removed. I wanted to see exactly what packages so I clicked on Details to show them. The window resized to a large size that was too large for the desktop and so was cut off at the bottom. Additionally the window was not resizable so I couldn't fix it. As a result I could not scroll down all the way.

I tried to follow the normal procedure to report this but ubuntu-bug -w didn't work, it said "The problem cannot be reported: This package does not seem to be installed correctly."

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1613943/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.

Leaving this bug filed against Ubuntu might see this problem forgotten. Reassigning to ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk in the hope that it is the correct package or someone can further reassign if not.

Possibly a Unity bug?

So, two years after reporting it, my bug gets assigned to a seven year old bug? Presume this is just house keeping? Surely, given these relate to old releases and there are no other reports it would be better to just mark these as no longer relevant?
