Re: some 2022 snapshots pointing to outdated Sources.xz?



Hi!

AH! Thank you! I should have noticed that I were looking at debian, not debian-security, so packages are held back for next point release. Sorry for the noise... :)

Hi,

Looking at point release dates and how p-u(-new) works might give you some enlightenment?

Hi there!

Perhaps I have a major misunderstanding here, but while frequently downloading packages based on "first seen" timestamp successfully, I found two issues with seemingly outdated indices end of 2022:

ncurses 6.2+20201114-2+deb11u1:

https://snapshot.debian.org/package/ncurses/6.2%2B20201114-2%2Bdeb11u1/ claims the package was "first seen on 2023-02-24 09:03:43". And I can also see it in https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20230224T090343Z/pool/main/n/ncurses/.

However, https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20230224T090343Z/dists/bullseye/main/source/ seems to point to Sources.xz from 2022-12-17 which doesn't include the package I want.


nftables 0.9.8-3.1+deb11u1:

According to https://snapshot.debian.org/package/nftables/0.9.8-3.1%2Bdeb11u1/, it is available in 20221209T210537Z.

But
https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20221209T210537Z/dists/bullseye/main/source/ references Sources.xz from 2022-09-10. I need to jump to 20221217T151645Z to get a recent Sources.xz.


Were there some issues with stuck snapshots back in 2022 or is it me misunderstanding how this is supposed to work?

Thanks in advance!
