This works for me on Hardy with no interesting repositories. Having just installed apt-build, I did:
$ apt-build -v apt-build version 0.12.31ubuntu1 $ sudo apt-build source mysql-server You must put some ‘source’ URIs in your sources.list E: You must put some ‘source’ URIs in your sources.list Missing source package name for source_by_source(). (Then added source packages with the Software Sources tool) $ sudo apt-build source mysql-server -----> Updating package lists <----- Hit http://archive.canonical.com hardy Release.gpg Ign http://archive.canonical.com hardy/partner Translation-en_GB Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy Release.gpg Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Translation-en_GB Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/restricted Translation-en_GB Hit http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security Release.gpg Ign http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/main Translation-en_GB Ign http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/restricted Translation-en_GB Hit http://archive.canonical.com hardy Release Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Translation-en_GB Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/multiverse Translation-en_GB Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates Release.gpg Ign http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main Translation-en_GB Ign http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/restricted Translation-en_GB Ign http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/universe Translation-en_GB Ign http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/multiverse Translation-en_GB Ign http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/universe Translation-en_GB Ign http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/multiverse Translation-en_GB Hit http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security Release Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy Release Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates Release Hit http://archive.canonical.com hardy/partner Packages Hit http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/main Packages Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages Hit http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/restricted Packages Hit http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/restricted Sources Hit http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/main Sources Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/restricted Packages Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/restricted Sources Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Sources Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/multiverse Sources Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Sources Hit http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/multiverse Sources Hit http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/universe Sources Hit http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/universe Packages Hit http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/multiverse Packages Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/multiverse Packages Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main Packages Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/restricted Packages Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/restricted Sources Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main Sources Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/multiverse Sources Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/universe Sources Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/universe Packages Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/multiverse Packages Hit http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy Release.gpg Ign http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy/free Translation-en_GB Ign http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy/non-free Translation-en_GB Hit http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy Release Hit http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy/free Packages Hit http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy/non-free Packages Reading package lists...
