Bug Description

I called apport with apport-bug linux, because I wanted to report a kernel bug.

However I could not send the logs to launchpad because of the following error message:

Distribution: Kubuntu 15.04 64 Bit

When I try to say in terminal:

apport-bug nautilus, i get this:

/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk:16: PyGIWarning: Wnck was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Wnck', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
from gi.repository import GLib, Wnck, GdkX11, Gdk
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

And in apport gui, at the last window: "<urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:645)>"

With these bug, I can't even truly report other bugs.

If I am not rude, may I ask what the status of this bug is? I think the severity of this bug is high because when reporting a bug, I can not fill a bug report with enough relevant information that is collected by apport. If we want good bug reports from anyone, this bug is an hindrance to this.

For me the issue seems to be cause as the VMhost for this Ubuntu guest has netskope / goskope.com installed and https traffic is inspected by way of a wildcard certificate.
So yes, there is an issue with the cert, but it should be possible to manually allow this operation to proceed anyway like all browsers do.
