Bug#644610: apt: Erroneous warning on signed snapshots

[Lukas Anzinger <l.anzinger@gmail.com>]

Hi,

a quick workaround is to add "/." to the distribution field in the sources.list:

> deb http://localhost/repo development/snapshots/test1/. main

apt transforms the distribution field and removes everything that
comes before the last /. So the transformed distribution would then be
development/snapshots/test1 because "/." is simply stripped for
comparison. Your HTTP server should handle the appended "/." perfectly
fine.

I've tried it with nginx and apt 0.8.10.3+squeeze1 and it worked for me.

Regards,

Lukas
