Bug Description

I'm trying to report a bug in the new Snap for Thunderbird.

When I run "ubuntu-bug thunderbird", it:
* Collects information correctly after I input the sudo password
* Opens a page like https://bugs.launchpad.net/distros/+filebug/a9564134-dfa6-11ee-85a7-c7116d9f638e?, which does not seem to be valid.

This is not the case for Firefox, which works fine with ubuntu-bug.

Thank you for your bug report. Do you have the thunderbird deb also installed? Do you get prompted to report against the snap or deb?

I tested in a VM with the deb and snap installed. Reporting against the deb is fine, reporting against the snap shows the issue described here. So marking as triaged.

if by the deb you mean the transitional package, then i have it uninstalled, marked as "residual-config". I don't get prompted to file against the deb.

Hello Helga, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apport into noble-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/2.28.1-0ubuntu3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-noble to verification-done-noble. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-noble. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.
