[Bug 1866996] Re: apport-retrace can not be used with https mirrors in sources.list

[Esokrates]

@Brian: I will open a separate bug for comment #9 soon, as this issue
here is about the https issue.

Since you asked to reproduce please fully upgrade your focal
installation and use the files as found in the attached tar archive.

Command to reproduce is:

apport-retrace -v -s -R -S system _usr_bin_gnome-shell.1000.crash

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

  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
