The problem here is that RTM doesn't produce Contents-*.gz:
http://derived.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu-rtm/dists/14.09/

Colin mentioned the other day that this was a known problem, and there's
some RT for it.

Apport's backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py is ok: set_mirror() sets the
mirror for the whole __AptDpkgPackageInfo object, so it is also
available in _search_contents() when it calls _get_mirror().

** Package changed: apport (Ubuntu) => launchpad

Title:
  Ubuntu RTM 14.09 does not produce Contents-*.gz

Status in Launchpad itself:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.
