[Bug 1238616] Re: creating apt cache with rootdir= still considers global apt config

Does that mean it's not possible to ignore /etc/apt/, or that I'm
doing something wrong? I. e. can you reset the Cache() object somehow
to ignore those global settings?

Thanks!

Title:
  creating apt cache with rootdir= still considers global apt config

Status in “python-apt” package in Ubuntu:
  New

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
