Package: pbuilder Version: 0.199 Severity: normal According to bug report #595801, snapshot.debian.org retains valid-until headers which cause apt-get update to always produce a failure with exit code 100. When building a distribution with pbuilder/cowbuilder from a snapshot.d.o archive, the pbuilder --update call also fails as a consequence:
E: Release file expired, ignoring http://localhost:3142/snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20101218T083823Z/dists/squeeze/Release (invalid since 8d 2h 35min 41s) Now it is arguable if snapshot.d.o should adapt the valid-until header or if apt-get should provide better override support. However, in the meantime, it seems that using the option -o 'Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false' to apt-get update is the only way to work around the problem. Unfortunately, there seems to be no easy way to inject this option from an invocation to pbuilder --update. Could there be another command line option to add apt-get configuration options? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages pbuilder depends on: ii coreutils 8.5-1 GNU core utilities ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 3.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii debootstrap 1.0.26 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii wget 1.12-2.1 retrieves files from the web Versions of packages pbuilder recommends: ii devscripts 2.10.69 scripts to make the life of a Debi ii fakeroot 1.14.4-1 Gives a fake root environment ii sudo 1.7.4p4-2 Provide limited super user privile Versions of packages pbuilder suggests: ii cowdancer 0.62+nmu2 Copy-on-write directory tree utili pn gdebi-core <none> (no description available) ii pbuilder-uml 0.199 user-mode-linux version of pbuilde -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
