After changing content of /etc/apt/sources.list to:
deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20151102T010000Z/
jessie main
deb-src http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20151102T010000Z/
jessie main
deb
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-security/20151102T010000Z/
jessie/updates main
deb-src
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-security/20151102T010000Z/
jessie/updates main
and running:
apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update
most of the packages can be installed correctly, but e.g. openjdk-7-jre
can't because of unjustifiable dependencies.
I've tracked it down to the version of tzdata package which is not
correctly set for the specific timestamp we want our snapshot to be at. For
2015-11-02 01:00:00 time it is expected that tzdata candidate version
is 2015f-0+deb8u1, but it is actually 2015g-0+deb8u1. This makes all the
packages that depend on the exact version of tzdata not being able to
install properly (e.g. tzdata-java).
Is this the problem with Debian Snapshot or with tzdata-java package (maybe
shouldn't depend on the exact version tzdata package).
Thank you!
