Bug Description

I have found that it is very unhelpful when I run Apport with this code in Terminal:

ubuntu-bug

And when I get this menu: http://i.stack.imgur.com/ib1Dr.png And select the option "Other problem" I get a very unclear error message: http://i.stack.imgur.com/VnDYN.png Why have an option to report other problems if it just tells you that you have not specified a package? I would have thought that selecting the "Other problems" option would be equivalent to selecting the "I don't know" option on LaunchPad when selecting a package.

My System information is:

Description: Ubuntu 14.10
Release: 14.10

Apport version:

apport:
  Installed: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8
