Bug Description

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch)
Release: 14.04

2) apt-cache policy apport
apport:
  Installed: 2.13.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.13.1-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.13.1-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What is expected to happen via a terminal:
ubuntu-bug zsnes

is that a bug report is created against the package zsnes.

4) What happens instead is a window pops up noting:
Invalid problem report
Package zsnes does not exist

However, this makes no sense when it clearly does:
apt-cache policy zsnes
zsnes:i386:
  Installed: 1.510+bz2-6
  Candidate: 1.510+bz2-6
  Version table:
 *** 1.510+bz2-6 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

In Wily, this now notes:
The problem cannot be reported:

The report belongs to a package that is not installed.

However, as technically the originally reported problem is not reproducible, and I don't need to report any zsnes bugs, I'll close, and file a new one if I need to file a zsnes bug.
