initramfs screwed up and left a crash report in /var/crash

In trying to report it with ubuntu-bug I keep getting:

jerry@Aspire1:~$ ubuntu-bug initramfs
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk", line 588, in <module>
    app.run_argv()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 637, in run_argv
    return self.run_report_bug()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 439, in run_report_bug
    self.collect_info(symptom_script)

    hookui, symptom_script, ignore_uninstalled))

    threading.Thread.__init__(self, group, target, name, args, kwargs, verbose)
TypeError: __init__() takes from 1 to 6 positional arguments but 7 were given

I presume I'm not able to report the crash to launchpad?

Any hints or just wait and keep updating....

Thanks, Jerry

p.s. temporary workaround as in mc4man's suggestion, sudo gedit /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/REThread.py and remove last argument, "verbose" ubuntu-bug then ran. I don't know if anything useful to the bug shooters was dropped off.
