Show all headers | View raw

Package: snapshot.debian.org
Severity: important

After modifying /etc/apt/sources.list as explained on
http://snapshot.debian.org/ and doing

  apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update

I get among various messages:

N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.

which is completely unacceptable.
