Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

When I run ubuntu-bug with the --pid or --package options, it just pauses briefly and then returns to the shell, printing and doing nothing.

When I run it with the -p or -P options, it works. However, it also prints:

Warning: The options -p/-P are deprecated, please do not use them. See /usr/bin/ubuntu-bug --help

The help does not actually state these are deprecated. The only indication in fact is the usage template, which indicates that it will guess what you meant.

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 1.17.2-0ubuntu1

---------------
apport (1.17.2-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * New upstream bug fix release:
    - Be more Python 3 compatible (not fully working with Python 3 yet,
      though).
    - apt/dpkg backend: Drop support for pre-0.7.9 python-apt API.
    - Add --tag option to add extra tags to reports. (LP: #572504)
    - hookutils.py, attach_dmesg(): Do not overwrite already existing dmesg.
    - hookutils.py: Be more robust against file permission errors.
      (LP: #444678)
    - ui.py: Do not show all the options in --help when invoked as *-bug.
      (LP: #665953)
    - launchpad.py: Adapt test cases to current standard_title() behaviour.
  * debian/control: Bump python-apt dependency to >= 0.7.9 to ensure that we
    have the current API. Trunk dropped support for the old API.
  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Ignore obsolete packages when filing bugs
    against update-manager. (LP: #397519)
  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Do not file a package install failure if
    DpkgTerminalLog doesn't have any data. (LP: #695887)
  * Add debian/apport.postinst: Create /var/crash. This directory is required
    for package failures even if apport is disabled and thus the upstart job
    does not run. (LP: #683367)
