Public bug reported:

apport-retrace will use the version of gdb installed on the system
performing the retrace. This can cause issues retracing crash reports
from releases that have a newer toolchain revision than the system
performing the retrace. Subsequently, it would be better if apport-
retrace were to install gdb into the sandbox being used for retracing
and used that version of gdb for analyzing the core dump.
