Bug Description
This bug, originally filed as 'When you want to file a bug against the package fglrx launchpad chooses the package fglrx-installer for you, this is misleading because there is no such package available.' shows up the confusion between source and binary package names that bug filers, who are often end users unaware of the complexities of our environment - that we may have different names between what they think they use and the thing we build the binaries from... and that we manage bugs by *source package*.
Its possible that adding some help links would be enough - I don't know for sure.
summary: |
- launchpad chooses package fglrx-installer when reporting a bug for - package fglrx + relationship between source and binary package names is unclear to bug + reporters |

https:/ /launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +source/ fglrx-installer is a package /launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +source/ fglrx is not. Looks like apport+apt did the right thing and selected a package that someone will see and retarget as needed.
