For example, "stable-jessie/snapshots/3.10.0" will lock you to that version. +_Note:_ you'll get a warning similar to this one when running `apt update`, it is harmless and can be ignored: + +> W: Conflicting distribution: https://download.mono-project.com stable-jessie/snapshots/3.10.0.160 InRelease (expected stable-jessie/snapshots but got jessie) + These snapshots will cease receiving updates as soon as the next major Mono version gets uploaded - for example, as soon as Mono 3.12 gets uploaded, 3.10 will never receive updates. On RPM distributions, force the package version in your package manager - all older versions are published in the YUM metadata and should be available.
