I chose the K option because the system on which I was running the command was not connected to the internet. So, my intention was to to use the K option then copy the file to a USB stick and I would then take the USB stick to a system connected to the internet and from that system, lodge a problem report including the file I had previously saved to the USB stick.
The V option is not particularly useful for that purpose either: r...@ubuntu:~# apport-cli -f -p italc-master *** Collecting problem information The collected information can be sent to the developers to improve the application. This might take a few minutes. ........................ *** Send problem report to the developers? After the problem report has been sent, please fill out the form in the automatically opened web browser. What would you like to do? Your options are: S: Send report (2.3 KiB) V: View report K: Keep report file for sending later or copying to somewhere else C: Cancel Please choose (S/V/K/C): V What would you like to do? Your options are: S: Send report (2.3 KiB) V: View report K: Keep report file for sending later or copying to somewhere else C: Cancel Please choose (S/V/K/C): K Problem report file: None r...@ubuntu:~# I suspect the V output is sent through some sort of pager program because it displayed almost a screen full then paused, displaying a ":" on the bottom line of the screen at which point output did not resume until I hit the space bar. Then I saw another screen full of information with a ":" on the bottom line of the screen. This happened, perhaps 3 times in all, then the last line of the screen showed "(END)" at which point I typed "q" and all the "V" output disappeared and I was prompted "What would you like to do? Your options are:" At the risk of stating the obvious, I would point out that though it might be an interesting datapoint that apport-cli works on Karmic, it doesn't help someone lodge bug reports on Jaunty.
