Bug Description
Binary package hint: apport
It appears that apport-collect expects that there be a package named the same as the source package in launchpad to report the version number of. For openoffice.org this is generally not the case, while there is an 'openoffice.org' package it is just a meta package and most users do not have it installed. For the openoffice.org case all users would have openoffice.org-core installed. Is there some way for apport-collect to either report based off a different package name or somehow determine the version of packages that come from the source package that the user has installed?
To post a comment you must log in.
As a workaround if there were a command line option I could just tell the user to use it for the openoffice.org case.
eg:
apport-collect -P openoffice.org-core (bug number)
Thanks,
Chris
