This very likely seems like a Launchpad problem, not an apport problem. Do you recall the exact text used?

When I tried to create what eventually became bug 1799868 here on Xubuntu, as soon as the web browser (Chrome) came up, it waas reporting a problem in Launchpad ad said it would soon be fixed. After a week, I tried the same thing on Ubnutu and reported the bug there a few minutes ago. It fails the same way on both ubuntu-bug apport ubutnu-bug coreutils I'm sure there's info you want about the failing system: at least including - Xubuntu 18.04.1, 64-bit all up-to-date Core i7 32GB RAM If there's anything else, let me know.
