Subject: apt-build fails to download source packages containing epochs
Package: apt-build
Version: 0.12.25
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
*** Please type your report below this line ***
apt-build seems to not pass full version information to apt-get when
downloading source.
apt-build uses apt-cache in the build_source subroutine in order to look
up the full version information, including epoch (eg. 1:3.0.6-4 in the
case of the 'angband' package, where I encountered this). Then it
passes the incomplete version information to source_by_source (eg
3.0.6-4), which is then passed to apt-get, which of course cannot find
the file.
Example run (noupdate used for brevity):
calufrax:~# apt-build build-source --noupdate angband

I believe the following change is correct, although I am slightly murky
on the policy details of debian versioning and tool behavior.

In any event, the result of this change is a success in my particular
