As there's nothing we can do about that without breaking other use
cases, we have to declare that working as intended.

Please clear your configuration before setting RootDir like options and
then re-init the config.

Sorry

Status in python-apt package in Debian:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I've tried to retrace a unity8 .crash from the phone on my desktop,
  using lp:daisy config, but the retrace process bails out after failing
  to download i386 and amd64 from ports.ubuntu.com. See the attached log
  for details.

  The command I used:

  ⟫ LANG=C apport-retrace -v -S daisy/retracer/config/ -C cache/ -o
  unity8.crash _usr_bin_unity8.32011.crash 2>&1 | tee retrace.log
