Bug Description

when creating a bug report about gedit the following messages were displayed when I used UBUNTU-BUG:

bill@wb4alm-07:~$ ubuntu-bug gedit
/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk:16: PyGIWarning: Wnck was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Wnck', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
  from gi.repository import GLib, Wnck, GdkX11, Gdk

========================

later I tried to report this problem with ubuntu-bug
and received some additional messages.

bill@wb4alm-07:~$ ubuntu-bug ubuntu-bug
/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk:16: PyGIWarning: Wnck was imported without specifying a version first.
Use gi.require_version('Wnck', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
  from gi.repository import GLib, Wnck, GdkX11, Gdk
dpkg-query: no packages found matching ubuntu-bug
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
==========================
Note: this results in a error message window that states
"The problem cannot be reported"
"The report belongs to a package that is not installed."
===========================
when you click on "OK" in the error message window, you get:

^CTraceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk", line 594, in <module>
    app.run_argv()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 651, in run_argv
    return self.run_report_bug()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 466, in run_report_bug
    if self.check_unreportable():
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 1316, in check_unreportable
    self.report['UnreportableReason'])
  File "/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk", line 403, in ui_info_message
    self._ui_message_dialog(title, text, Gtk.MessageType.INFO)
  File "/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk", line 395, in _ui_message_dialog
    result = self.md.run()
KeyboardInterrupt

====================================================================

It took a while to discover that ubuntu-bug is part of APPORT (which I did not know). Suggest that the other bug(s) about ubuntu-bug help files also be fixed...
