tags 561971 fixed-upstream thanks Hi Gregor Herrmann,
First of all: Thanks for your excellent bugreport... 2009/12/21 gregor herrmann <gre...@debian.org>: > `apt-get source $package/$release' and `apt-get source > $package=$version' (and `apt-get source -t $release $package') have > stopped working for me. ... and sorry for the breakage! > Looking through apt's changelog, it might be related to the changes > in cmdline/apt-get.cc; or is something wrong on my machine? Yes, these are the breakers. I have more or less rewritten FindSrc() which is responsible for finding the correct version in apt in 0.7.25 to fix a few misbehaviors and add these Warnings about ignored things as APT did this without a note before which was a bit confusing - but i made two mistakes: It does the ignoring now way to aggressive for "easy" packages. (Easy means here: binary packages which have the same name as their source packages as these packages doesn't have a Source-tag in their status stanzas) And the other problem: While it need to drop the release name if it can't find a binary package with this information (you mentioned already #441178 ) apt can try to find the version in the sources entries, instead of ignoring them without a try... A patch fixing these issues is already committed in Michaels branch [0] and will be part of the next upload - most properly a dot-release. Until then you can circumvent this bug for "easy" packages by adding the --only-source flag to your apt-get source command. (This will not work for "harder" packages as for these a binary to source mapping is needed, but in this case you will not hit the bug...)
