I've discovered that I can workaround this issue by modifying the argument passed to the 'set debug-file-directory' option of gdb e.g. by using the following:

'set debug-file-directory /srv/vms/apport-sandbox-dir/Ubuntu 19.10/amd64/report-sandbox/usr/lib/debug/.dwz/'

I no longer see the error message regarding "could not find '.gnu_debugaltlink' file for...'. Originally the 'set debug-file-directory' argument was:

'set debug-file-directory /srv/vms/apport-sandbox-dir/Ubuntu 19.10/amd64/report-sandbox/usr/lib/debug/'

Additionally its worth noting that if I use both paths e.g.:

'set debug-file-directory /srv/vms/apport-sandbox-dir/Ubuntu 19.10/amd64/report-sandbox/usr/lib/debug/.dwz/:/srv/vms/apport-sandbox-dir/Ubuntu 19.10/amd64/report-sandbox/usr/lib/debug/'

I receive the error message again.
