Comment 2 for bug 1969477

If direct access to Launchpad is blocked how was a bug report filed in the first place? apport-collect is designed to gather information from a system about an existing bug report. Additionally, apport-collect looks at the bug report in Launchpad to determine which package is affected and to to determine which apport-package hook to run. Without the connection Launchpad only general information about the system would be gathered.
