1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.10
Release: 12.10

2) apt-cache policy apport
apport:
  Installed: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6
  Candidate: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6
  Version table:

3) What is expected to happen is when one generates a crash report in /var/crash via the terminal:
cd ~/Desktop && wget -c https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1064560/+attachment/3390885/+files/11_03pu-reduced.odt -O example.odt && lowriter --nologo example.odt

Save As -> doc 97/XP/2003 -> and after LibreOffice crashes execute:
cd /var/crash && ubuntu-bug _usr_lib_libreoffice_program_soffice.bin.1000.crash

Apport should process the .crash file, and a Firefox window should pop up offering to report a bug on Launchpad.

4) What happens instead is it does not, nor does it give any other indication as to why it did not. Please see attached screencast for verification of this phenomenon. As well, this is prohibiting I and others (at least 2 others w/ LibreOffice crash bugs) from reporting valid crash bugs on Launchpad (or at least knowing why the crash report was not reported via Launchpad). This is a regression in Quantal as I was able to report against .crash files via apport (ex. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1069301 ).

Marking Triaged due to screencast, and High due to how this has "a severe impact on a small portion of Ubuntu users (estimated)". It is frustrating myself and others reporting crash reports via ubuntu-bug. As well, it is preventing effective triage against crash reports of LibreOffice. Examples I could dig up within a couple minutes of searching:
