Bug Description
Binary package hint: apport
In apport/ui.py there is an error message used for any "Network problem". From the code:
if upthread.
))
return
The second part of the error message ends up being "No address associated with hostname" which is vague because the user doesn't know which hostname is causing the particular problem. It would be more informative if the hostname for the crash database that was not being contacted was given.
