Cannot use APT repo snapshots

Hi folks–

Has anyone successfully used an APT proxy snapshot?

Configuration is OSS 3.38.0-01

My use case is to install Ubuntu from a proxy snapshot.

I am able to install from a proxy that tracks the public Ubuntu repository. But snapshots of that proxy have incomplete metadata and are missing items expected by the installer.

Does anyone know how to get a complete snapshot of the metadata?

Failures from the installer include:
