Package: apt-src Version: 0.25.1 Severity: normal I have apt-src configured to install source in /usr/src/debian by setting the APT::Src::Location configuration parameter in /etc/apt/apt.conf.
After unpacking the source, apt-src errors out with this error: E: Did not unpack to $PWD/udev-0.050 where $PWD is your current directory. The error message is technically correct because the source was not unpacked there, but it was not meant to. This results in no entry being written to $HOME/.apt-src/status, so further apt-src commands report the source package is not installed. I must ensure my current directory is /usr/src/debian when I install a source package to be able to build it - defeating the purpose of APT::Src::Location. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-ch1-imladris-1 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages apt-src depends on: ii apt 0.5.27.2 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii dpkg-dev 1.10.25 Package building tools for Debian ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.13 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii perl 5.8.4-5 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
