apport-bug: Report a bug about a specific package.
$ apport-bug ${package}
try on your machine
The command "apport-bug ${package}" is used to report bugs in a specific package to the Apport bug tracking system. Here's an explanation of each component:
- "apport-bug" is the command itself. Apport is a system in Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linux distributions that automatically collects information about system crashes and bugs. "apport-bug" is the command-line tool to interact with this system.
- "${package}" is a placeholder for the name of the package for which you want to report a bug. You should replace "${package}" with the actual name of the package. This command allows you to specify the package for which you encountered a bug so that the Apport system can provide accurate information about the bug to the developers.
By executing the command "apport-bug ${package}", Apport will collect relevant information about the bug and open a new bug report in your default web browser or terminal, allowing you to provide additional details and add your insights about the issue. This helps the developers to understand and potentially fix the bug more efficiently.
