apport-cli does not shorten an URL when suggesting to copy it to another computer.

[bp]

Binary package hint: apport

I quote an apport-cli output:

<quote>
*** To continue, you must visit the following URL:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptitude/+filebug/redacted0PbFK9kzx11B98ssV3v?field.title=aptitude+assert+failure%3A+%2A%2A%2A+buffer+overflow+detected+%2A%2A%2A%3A+aptitude+terminated

You can launch a browser now, or copy this URL into a browser on another computer.

Choices:
  1: Launch a browser now
  C: Cancel
Please choose (1/C):1

It would be nice if apport-cli shortened the URL automatically (if the appropriate libraries are installed) so that users don't have three liners of URL to "copy into a browser on another computer".

For some reason, data from my previous bug report leaked into this bug report when I used "ubuntu-bug apport" :(

There is no support on such deprecated version; that one has died long time ago.
