If you still have access to a repository that contains it (that is, if 'apt-cache policy dict-moby-thesaurus' reports a remote location, not just /var/lib/dpkg/status), then you can download the source package with the command: apt-get source dict-moby-thesaurus (although you'll want to make sure you're in an appropriate empty directory before running the command, just to keep things clean). Note also that a brief examination of the binary package doesn't seem to show any indication of a Python connection at all, much less specifically a Python 2 one, so I'm not sure what it is that will need to be changed here. If you don't still have access to such a repository, then you'll need to look under snapshot.debian.org, and find the source package there. The main page will be https://snapshot.debian.org/binary/dict-moby-thesaurus/ and the version-specific page for the latest version appears to be https://snapshot.debian.org/package/dict-moby-thesaurus/1.0-6.4/ ; at a glance, it looks like turning these files into a form that you can work with may wind up requiring more Debian-specific knowledge than the other approach would, but I can't confirm offhand that that is the case. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
