heard to say:
  This output says that you have emacs-snapshot-common installed on both
computers, at the same version.  Maybe explaining what you're trying to
do and the error message you're getting would make it clearer what the
problem is.

I apologize my bad English... I will explain to you what I exactly
thought and did
as precisely as I can.

First, I use emacs-snapshot-* packages every day. When I upgraded the packages,
I thought I found a bug in emacs-snapshot-* package, and I wanted to downgrade
the emacs-snapshot-* packages in order to check that the bug I found really
related to the new version of emacs-snapshot-* packages. Then I decided to use
snapshot.debian.net service.

I added the following entry to
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/snapshot-emacs.list and wanted
to downgrade emacs-snapshot-* packages with aptitude:

deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool emacs-snapshot
deb-src http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool emacs-snapshot

Finally I found that aptitude could list older version of architecture
dependent packages
(e.g. emacs-snapshot-gtk) but not independent packages (e.g.
emacs-snapshot-common)
on amd64 machines, whereas this worked completely well on i686 machines.

So I thought that my sources.list entry was OK (because I could find
some older packages)
and this may relates to apt/aptitude bug.
