[Bug 1614684] [NEW] can't use the sandbox (-s) option of do-release-upgrade / update-manager

[Wim Lewis]

Public bug reported:

Tried to do an upgrade in "sandbox" mode using the -s option. It failed
to set up the sandbox (though it didn't give a detailed error why). Same
behavior with either do-release-upgrade or update-manager.
