Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

The apport package hook for rhythmbox asks questions about what kind of problem I'm reporting but what really happened is that rhythmbox just crashed on me. Depending on the nature of the questions in the package hook it'd probably be best to just skip the hook if the problem type is a crash.

It worked fine for you because the apport package hook is no longer installed by rhythmbox which is a bug in itself. You should be able to find the the package hook in /usr/share/apport/package-hooks. You would also see questions if you were to use 'ubuntu-bug rhythmbox' if it were installed.

The package hook is installed, just to an incorrect directory. Filed as bug #992355

This bug was fixed in the package rhythmbox - 2.96-0ubuntu6

---------------
rhythmbox (2.96-0ubuntu6) quantal; urgency=low

  * debian/rhythmbox.install:
    - Fix installation of apport hook to correct
      directory. Otherwise, the hook won't be used when running ubuntu-bug
      rhythmbox.
      (LP: #992355)
    - Improve categorization wording.
      (LP: #543948)
    - Only prompt user to specify type of bug if it isn't a crash.
      (I.e., if there is no stacktrace present.)
