apport-bug does nothing after choosing the "Send" option

[ais523]

After running apport-bug as, e.g., `apport-bug apport` (which I attempted to use to file this bug), it (as expected) puts up a dialog box specifying collected information, then shows that information with two options, "Send" and "Don't Send". However, clicking either button closes apport-bug with no visible further effect (and no messages on standard output or standard error). Expected behaviour is for apport-bug to open a page in my Web browser to allow me to file the bug.

If I revoke my computer's authorisation at https://launchpad.net/~ais523/+oauth-tokens and then repeat the process, there's no change to the observed behaviour (in particular, apport-bug doesn't ask for a new one).

[ais523 (ais523)]

And an attempt using apport-collect:

I ran the command `apport-collect 1814529`.

apport-collect noticed the lack of authorisation, printing the following text (I redacted the OAuth token):

{{{
The authorization page:
 (https://launchpad.net/+authorize-token?oauth_token=«redacted»&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...
}}}

The page in question did indeed open in my web browser. After I used that page to authorise my computer, Apport opened the "collecting information" and then "Send problem report to the developers?" dialog boxes, as expected. However, when I then clicked "Send", apport-collect exited with no visible further effect (and no messages on standard output or standard error). Expected behaviour was to attach the collected information to this bug report.

[ais523 (ais523)]

`apport-cli --save /tmp/1814529.apport apport` appears to save the collected information to a file, as intended. I used this mechanism to generate the following information so that I could attach it to this bug report (due to this bug, I can't use the normal mechanism):

ais523: Why is this filed under "evolution"? How is this related to Evolution at all?

[ais523 (ais523)]

It isn't (except that if apport-bug were working, it would have made sure the bug was filed against the right package!). Sorry, it's easy to make a mistake when filing a bug manually.

[ais523 (ais523)]

Although it was reliably reproducable at the time, I can no longer reproduce this bug (using ubuntu-bug version 2.20.9 on Ubuntu Bionic). Perhaps it's been fixed incidentally.
