Sometimes it is necessary to run apport-collect in the absence of X (i.e. when reporting a bug on a headless server). In this scenario, apport-collect uses w3m to attempt to login to Launchpad. With w3m, it is impossible to "click" on the "Continue" button after entering one's Launchpad credentials. As a result, apport-collect is useless when run in text mode.

apport 1.13.2-0ubuntu1
w3m 0.5.2-2.1ubuntu1
