Package: apt Version: 0.6.46.4-0.1 Severity: normal Dear Apt maintainers,
Commands such as "apt-get --target-release etch source xorg-server" will pull highest version if available. Concommitantly, apt-get build-dep will try to install what is needed for building the highest version. Depending on the point of view, this normal bug on apt-get can be a minor bug on the apt-get.8 manpage... PS: the relevant lines in sources.list were of course not commented when experiencing the bug.
