Package: apt Version: 3.0.1 Severity: important Beloved apt maintainers,
the use of --snapshot will fail with the grml repo as the default handling is "Snapshot: enable" unless disabled. This won't happen if you use the provided deb822.sources from grml-keyring as this was disabled by me (https://github.com/grml/grml-keyring/pull/22). But as this error can still be reproduced and IIRC it doesn't explicitely have to be grml so it would still be a good idea to fix it.
