Bug Description
I may be misunderstanding the man pages, but I was assuming that if I ran the following...
$ sudo apport-cli --save /tmp/linux.crash linux
... then copied linux.crash to a local system, I would be able to append the meta-data in linux.crash to an *existing* bug report like this:
$ apport-cli --update-report $bug --crash-file linux.report
However, that doesn't work:
Usage: apport-cli [options] [symptom|
apport-cli: error: -u/--update-bug option cannot be used together with options for a new report
This looks like a bug since I've specified '--update-report', hence this is not a new report.

That's right, this cannot currently be used like that. apport-collect is meant to be run on the affected system.
It would be nice to make it work on a system which isn't connected to the internet, with --save indeed.
