Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

apport 0.119 / Intrepid / i686

I would like ubuntu-bug to collect and report backtrace information when reporting an issue for a certain PID.

Background:
I reported bug 338677 using "ubuntu-bug 1234". The reason I bug reported that PID was that pidgin had stopped responding, and I was hoping that I could use ubuntu-bug to report that pidgin had hanged.

Unfortunately it seems as if ubuntu-bug doesn't collect any backtrace information when used on a PID, so my pidgin bug report became rather useless :-(.

Bug 338677 is a good example of a backtraceless bug report by ubuntu-bug.

Many thanks Martin. I had frankly forgotten reporting that until your
eMail reminded me. The problem has resolved itself since I re-installed
the OS. Lost lots of data but its stable now which is a great pleasure.
