Okay, that one works, although it’s pretty long to type and not too easy to remember… >I don't know where you got the idea to use the “src:” prefix, but that >is not a documented syntax. … oh. Well, almost all other Debian tools I use support it, and I probably just mistook apt for doing the same. >Anyway, this should only be a temporary problem and happens in >either of two rare situations: >- a binary package moves from one source to another; and >- a source package is newer than the correspondingly available > binary or source package. The second situation is actually my default case… it’s what I use apt-get source for all day. >Both of which have happened to you at the same time, though you do >have quite a mixture of repositories in your sources.list. I can reduce it to just debian-ports unstable+unreleased binary plus debian source, that’d not be an issue. >It has exposed what may be a real bug in apt-get's selection of source >packages when given --only-source and a version.

Ah okay. Thanks for the quick response and the possible workaround. Goodnight, //mirabilos -- I want one of these. They cost 720 € though… good they don’t have the HD hole, which indicates 3½″ floppies with double capacity… still. A tad too much, atm. ‣ http://www.floppytable.com/floppytable-images-1.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
