Hello m-a maintainers,


"bug":
------

 m-a --text a-i virtualbox-ose
got me
 The source tarball could not be found!
 Package virtualbox-ose not installed?
 Running "m-a -f get virtualbox-ose" may help.
so I did
 m-a -f get virtualbox-ose
and tried again
 m-a --text a-i virtualbox-ose
which got me another
 The source tarball could not be found!
 Package virtualbox-ose not installed?
 Running "m-a -f get virtualbox-ose" may help.

After more attemps I realized that I was stuck in a loop.


workaround:
-----------

Doing
 m-a --text -f get virtualbox-ose-source
did bring me a succesfull
 m-a --text a-i virtualbox-ose


wish, reason for this bugreport:
--------------------------------

Please change the module-assistant text
 Running "m-a -f get virtualbox-ose" may help.
into
 Running "m-a -f get virtualbox-ose-source" may help.

Or change the m-a lines
 Package virtualbox-ose not installed?
 Running "m-a -f get virtualbox-ose" may help.
into
 Package virtualbox-ose-source not installed?
 Running "m-a -f get virtualbox-ose-source" may help.
