I'm also having this bug, on a Lubuntu Precise amd64 system with apport
2.0.1-0ubuntu9 and apport-gtk 2.0.1-0ubuntu9. It started when I upgraded
from Oneiric to Precise. In contrast, Apport crash reporting works
correctly on another machine that has Ubuntu (not Lubuntu) Precise i386
(installed from scratch).
This also happens when I try to submit a report for a .crash file in
/var/crash with ubuntu-bug or apport-cli.
ek@Apok:/var/crash$ apport-cli _usr_bin_audacious.1000.crash

xdg-open and sensible-browser both work and behave correctly when issued
from the command-line. I don't know if the problem is in submitting the
crash data or opening the browser, but I strongly suspect that it's in
submitting the crash data, because I am never told that crash data is
submitted.
This problem is not due to the bugs being reported being identified as
duplicates. I have verified this by simulating a segmentation fault in
nano by sending it SIGSEGV with kill. The apport service is triggered
and collects the data, but I am never told it is being sent or given a
web browser tab/window in which to report the bug.
I've tried rebooting and manually stopping and restarting the apport
service (though I don't think this is the problem with the service
itself, which seems to create .crash files just fine).
I have a number of crash bugs in Lubuntu Precise that would be
considerably harder for me to report because of this. I am also
considering early-adopting Lubuntu Quantal Alpha 1 on one of my
machines, but I am concerned that if I did, my efforts might be
considerably less useful to the community if my ability to report
crashes is hindered.
If anyone is running Lubuntu Precise or Quantal and does *not* have this
problem, I think it would be valuable to post about that here.
