Bug Description

Apport does not work for me at all (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS). Examples:

ubuntu-bug ubuntu-bug: complains that package is not installed (ironic...)
ubuntu-bug evince: complains that package is not official
ubuntu-bug: when you press "other" it complains that you did not choose a package

and so on. The following message appears in the stdout:

/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
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

ubuntu-bug is not a package, its a executable provided by apport try ubuntu-bug $(which ubuntu-bug)

> ubuntu-bug evince: complains that package is not official

That could very well be true if you installed it from a PPA or other location.

> ubuntu-bug: when you press "other" it complains that you did not choose a package

The other button should be removed then as it isn't helpful.

The warnings are bug 1502173.

I can't say I understood how using which helps: it just says /usr/bin/ubuntu-bug. Anyway, I tried ubuntu-bug /usr/bin/ubuntu-bug (and also ubuntu-bug apport) and both complained that the package is not official. AFAIR I installed everything from ubuntu official site, but if there's a way to check let me know and I will.
