Comment 11 for bug 1339663

apport can and does send report to two separate systems, Launchpad and the Ubuntu Error Tracker. Sending of reports to the Ubuntu Error Tracker is non-interactive and crashes can be sent to it automatically if whoopsie-upload-all is installed and /var/lib/apport/autoreport exists. This is useful to Ubuntu developers as we then know what which crashes are affecting a lot of users.

Unfortunately, there was a bug in ubuntu-bug which made it impossible for people to report bugs to Launchpad if whoopsie-upload-all was installed. This has not yet been resolved in Trusty although I just uploaded a fix for this for the SRU queue team to review.

Removing /var/lib/apport/autoreport isn't a good workaround as then you won't be automatically reporting crashes to the Error Tracker.
