Ubuntu: Would you like to report a serious error?

Me: I'd like to know what it is first.

Ubuntu: No. So how about it?

Me: Ok. blobcatgooglyshrug

Ubuntu: Ok, the error was that we couldn't update WINE. But we can't report it because the issue was with a version of WINE you installed from the official WINE repository, not from us.

Me: Alright so you realize how this is entirely your fault from start to end, right? I wouldn't have had to use the official WINE repository if you had version 11 in your own repos. You should never ask me whether I want to report an error you won't allow me to see until after I've already entered my password. And there's also a pretty good chance the package can't upgrade because of something y'all did but that's a guess on my part.

@EveHasWords
There’s a consistent attitude behind these kinds of dialogs.

It feels like it’s gotten worse since “don’t drag a disk to the trash to eject, now try again the right way” decades ago
