Thank you for your report. git bisect tells me:
5e76e9fccee519c63602562dc4065deb3f97748b is the first bad commit
commit 5e76e9fccee519c63602562dc4065deb3f97748b
Author: Michael Vogt <mvo@debian.org>
Date: Sat Nov 23 08:51:44 2013 +0100
* apt/cache.py:
- when using apt.Cache(rootdir=/some/dir) only read the APT
configuration from this rootdir instead of /etc (closes: #728274)
Which makes sense, as that commit clears the config first, and then
reinitialises, in order to use the config from the rootdir. Which
does not work if you want to configure things using the API.
I reverted this in 0.9.3.2. You should then be able to sync 0.9.3.2
into Ubuntu (you had 0.9.3.1 in there for a short time it seems, so
no further changes seem needed).
