Bug Description
To Reproduce:
1) File a bug for a project that has packages: https:/
2) Enter something, click Continue.
3) If similar bugs are suggested, click "No, I'd like to report a new bug."
4) Enter 'Ubuntu' for the package name, and then select the "I don't know" radio button. Like below.
(*) I don't know
( ) [Ubuntu___]
5) Type something in the details text area.
6) Click Submit Bug Report.
The page will refresh with an unhelpful "1 Error" message at the top, and no contextual help around the problem.

There are three errors I can identify regarding the Package Name selection radio buttons:
In what package did you find this bug?
( * ) I Don't Know
( ) ___________ (Choose...)
First error - the logic of the radio buttons is incorrect - if a value exists in the second option, but the first option ("I Don't Know") has been selected, the value entered in the second option should be ignored. But it isn't. This causes an error until the value of the second option is manually deleted.
Second error - there is no useful error message provided when the package name isn't found a second time.
Third error: after choosing "I Don't Know" and clicking submit, the button defaults back to the second option if it contains text.
Attached are step[1-3].png. This is what they represent:
- step1: an attempt is made at guessing a package name
- step2: a useful error is presented - so the user selects ( * ) I Don't Know - as instructed.
- step3: the page reports one error, does not say where the error is, and the radio button automagically switches back to the second option.
