Public bug reported:

I noticed that retraces of crashes from Ubuntu RTM 14.09 are failing and
I suspect it is because of the following in backends/packaging-apt-
dpkg.py:

            if age is None or age >= 86400:
                url = '%s/dists/%s%s/Contents-%s.gz' % (self._get_mirror(), release, pocket, arch)

                try:
                    src = urlopen(url)
                except IOError:
                    # we ignore non-existing pockets, but we do crash if the
                    # release pocket doesn't exist
                    if pocket == '':
                        raise

Because Ubuntu RTM 14.09 uses a different archive
(derived.archive.canonical.com) than the system one (archive.ubuntu.com)
this will fail.

Given that there is a retracer configuration for this release (and for
all releases), I think it'd make sense to use set_mirror from the same
code to choose the specific mirror.  This would need to be done in
apport/sandboxutils.py and would require sorting out the mirror from the
sources.list file in the config_dir.
