Package: multistrap
Version: 2.2.9
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
multistrap encounters the "Release file expired" error when using old Debian
snapshots. This can be worked around by passing "-o Acquire::Check-Valid-
Until=false" to apt. The attached patch adds this option when operating under
the "noauth" condition, permitting multistrap to work with such old
repositories.
