Bug Description

Doing the ISO testing in a machine, that I did it staying offline.

After installing, I connected and noticed a bug I wanted to report in ubuntu-drivers-common, but doing `ubuntu-bug` on it failed:

This does not seem to be an official Ubuntu Package. Please retry after updating the indexes of available packages...

This is true as per:

$ apt-cache policy ubuntu-drivers-common
ubuntu-drivers-common:
  Installed: 1:0.8.5.4
  Candidate: 1:0.8.5.4
  Version table:
 *** 1:0.8.5.4 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

However, apport should probably trigger an apt-update in such case first instead of failing, or adding a button to do this easily and then proceed with the report.

This error message was actually recently changed and now recommends updating your apt indexes. I gather you'd like to to do more and update the indexes for you?

Yeah, or at least to have a button to start updating, so that it allows then to proceed.
