apport-bug --save /tmp/file.apport does not show Apport window and exits without doing anything

[Claudio Moretti]

Binary package hint: apport

When I launch "apport-bug" (without parameters) a window is shown, so I can explain the bug I'm experiencing.
Launching "apport-bug --save /tmp/file.apport", does not show that window, but exits and does not save the report (as there's nothing to save, I guess, because I haven't provided the information needed to report it)

Indeed, apport seems to fall back to crash-reporting mode in that case, if no crashes are there it does nothing.

[Philip Muškovac (yofel)]

Yep, seems to go into the wrong mode. As a workaround you can use -f/--file-bug

apport-bug -f --save <file>

Apport has been redesigned a lot since that report issue.
Closing that outdated report as EOL has been reached long time ago
