Binary package hint: apport
Dear interested parties,
This is what happened:
1. Evolution crashed.
2. apport-gtk and I told it to report the full report.
3. apport tried to upload but it displayed some error and couldn't upload. The error was something about name resolution, I think.
4. I wanted to report it so I've found there's apport-cli. I've read the manpage and decided to try to run it without options.
5. When run without options, it told me that there are no new reports.
6. I am about to send the report with the -c option.
The problem is that apport-cli doesn't realize that the uploading of that report did not succeed.
While it is a matter of convenience, perhaps it would be better to change the program so that it checks if it the report has been uploaded successfully instead of checking if it started the upload.
Many blessings.

What do you mean by this? What did apport-cli do (copy&paste the output perhaps, or do a screenshot?) and what should have happened?
