Hello!

Thanks for finding the root cause of this.

This will only delay the problem :-)

Ideally, we should locate and remove any such "time bombs" or expiry
dates in packages.  Maybe by doing some time fuzzing?

In any case this particular problem is fixed on the 'staging' and
'core-updates' branches, the first of which should be merged very soon.

I'm closing this issue, but added your findings as a comment in
