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

[Martin Pitt]

Michal and I debugged this over IRC, and tracked it down. He had an
/etc/apt/apt.conf with explicitly setting Architecture:, and creating an
apt.Cache(rootdir="...") object still takes that global configuration
into account.

The attached test as

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
