apport-unpack(1) General Commands Manual apport-unpack(1)NAME
apport-unpack - extract the fields of a problem report to separate files
SYNOPSIS
apport-unpack report target-directory
DESCRIPTION
A problem report, as produced by apport is a single file with a set of key/value pairs in the RFC822 syntax. This tool disassembles a
report such that the value of each entry is written into a separate file, with the key as file name. This is particularly useful for large
binary data like the core dump.
report is either a path to an existing apport crash report, or '-' to read from stdin.
The target-directory must either be nonexisting or empty.

apport-cli(1) General Commands Manual apport-cli(1)NAME
apport-cli - Command line client for reporting problems
SYNOPSIS
apport-cli
apport-cli -c report
apport-cli -f -p package
apport-cli -f -P pid
DESCRIPTION
apport automatically collects data from crashed processes and compiles a problem report in /var/crash/. This is a command line frontend for
reporting those crashes to the developers. It can also be used to report bugs about packages or running processes.
For desktop systems with a graphical user interface, you should consider installing the GTK or Qt user interface (apport-gtk or apport-qt).
apport-cli is mainly intended to be used on servers.
When called without any options, it processes the pending crash reports and offers to report them one by one. You can also display the
entire report to see what is sent to the software developers.
OPTIONS -c report, --crash-file=report
Instead of walking over the new crash reports in /var/crash/, report a particular report in an arbitrary file location. This is
useful for copying a crash report to a machine with internet connection and reporting it from there.
-f, --file-bug
Report a (non-crash) problem. Requires specifying --package or --pid. This will automatically attach information about your operat-
ing sytem and the package version etc. to the bug report, so that the developers have some important context.
-p package, --package=package
When being used in --file-bug mode, specify the package to report the problem against.
-P pid, --pid=pid
When being used in --file-bug mode, specify the PID (process ID) of a running program to report the problem against. This can be
determined with e. g. ps -ux.
ENVIRONMENT
APPORT_IGNORE_OBSOLETE_PACKAGES
Apport refuses to create bug reports if the package or any dependency is not current. If this environment variable is set, this
check is waived. Experts who will thoroughly check the situation before filing a bug report can define this in their ~/.bashrc or
temporarily when calling the apport frontend (-cli, -gtk, or -qt).

Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
