Binary package hint: apport
Using Kubuntu 10.04, tested both on a real machine and in a VirtualBox.
After executing "ubuntu-bug" without any arguments, I was prompted for:
"What kind of problem do you want to report?".
When choosing "Other problem", I got a dialog titled
"What display problem do you observe?"
(see attached screenshot) or sometimes:
"What other problem do you observe?"
Remember, I'd choosed: "Other problem"
-> In Kubuntu 10.04 I'd got the Dialog "What particular problem do you observe?"
Now I click to "Cancel" and the application ubuntu-bug (or apport?) hangs until I kill it down.

This is not the same behavior in Oneiric 11.10, but it is still unexpected.
1. ALT+F2 "ubuntu-bug"
2. Select "Other problem" and validate
3. You will be prompted an error message : "No package specified. You have to specify a package or a PID. Please run --help for more informations".
So, if I've a bug but I don't know which package or PID it belongs to : how can I report it ?
