Problem with lxc image import

hello everyone,
I have problem while importing image after a normal export
steps :

$lxc list
+-----------+---------+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------+-----------+-----------+
|   NAME    |  STATE  |        IPV4         |                     IPV6                      |   TYPE    | SNAPSHOTS |
+-----------+---------+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------+-----------+-----------+
| debian-10 | RUNNING | 10.237.38.37 (eth0) | fd42:5adc:d7e9:aa82:216:3eff:fed6:e641 (eth0) | CONTAINER | 0         |
+-----------+---------+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------+-----------+-----------+

then export container as image

$lxc snapshot debian-10 debian-10-snp
$lxc publish debian-10/debian-10-snp --alias debian-10-img
$lxc image export debian-10-img debian-10-image

then import the image

$lxc import    image debian-10-image.tar.gz      test-debiane-10-from-image
Error: open /var/lib/snapd/hostfs/root/image: no such file or directory

I did search, and I couldn’t resolve the problem
-the debug:

$lxc import    image debian-10-image.tar.gz      test-debiane-10-from-image --debug
