Title:
  apport-retrace can not be used with https mirrors in sources.list

Status in Apport:
  Triaged
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Here I collect a couple of issues regarding apport-retrace with "-S
  system".

  1. apport-retrace does not work for https mirros in sources.list
  2. If the sandbox is built successfully the stack-trace of generated does even contain less info than simply calling "apport-retrace -v -s -R" without the sandbox.
  3. I have found fixes / workaround for issue 1. and 2., see the attached patches, however in the end I'm still not satisfied with the quality of the results:

  For example I tested apport by invoking a crash of gnome-software with kill -s SIGSEGV $(pidof gnome-software).
     
  Invoking apport-retrace without sandbox (apport-retrace -R --stdout _usr_bin_gnome-software.1000.crash) gives me the following backtrace:

  Invoking apport-retrace with sandbox (apport-retrace -v -s -R -S
  system _usr_bin_gnome-software.1000.crash) gives me the following
