bug-reporting

Until some time ago you ran apport-bug or ubuntu-bug to start reporting a bug. The system would then open launchpad with your account, upload the collected information and let you add more info to the bug report.

Now when I run gksudo ubuntu-bug (for instance with a crash-file as argument) the common bug dialog appears

enter image description here

and thats all.

Where is the report being sent to? Definitely not to launchpad as a bug report (although in the concrete situation people have been able to file a report about that bug).

So: where is this report sent to (and just maybe) how can I still file a bug report from my system (makes uploading of the pertaining files much easier)

Could it be that "the system" decided that this would be a duplicate of an already existing bug?

A friend of mine (somewhat new to linux) recently upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 and his OS broke from the upgrade.
