Two questions: 1) How can I know the source package name from the output of the command "dpkg --print-avail debian-guide"? cambados:~# dpkg --print-avail debian-guide Package: debian-guide Priority: optional Section: doc Installed-Size: 7223 Maintainer: John Goerzen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: all Version: 1.0.0 Size: 4667528 Description: Text from: Debian GNU/Linux: Guide to Installation and Usage This package will install the full text in HTML and PostScript formats from the book "Debian GNU/Linux: Guide to Installation and Usage" by Debian developers John Goerzen and Ossama Othman (ISBN 0-7357-0914-9). . You can find the installed items under /usr/doc/debian-guide. cambados:~# 2) I have been reading the man for "apt-get" and "sources.list" looking for the sintax of a deb-src entry in the /etc/apt/sources.list file, but I have found no documentation about it. Where can I find this information? Which is the sintax of this type of entry? This is the version of apt installed in this Debian box: cambados:~# dpkg --print-avail apt Package: apt Priority: optional Section: admin Installed-Size: 1068 Maintainer: APT Development Team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 0.1.9 Replaces: deity Depends: libc6 (>= 2.0.7u), libstdc++2.9 Conflicts: deity Filename: dists/stable/main/binary-i386/admin/apt_0.1.9.deb Size: 319114 MD5sum: fe1aee4c9f2a2c95e2b6ad1ca807b09d Description: Front-End for dpkg This is Debian's next generation front-end for the dpkg package manager.
