-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I posted this yesterday, but I think it got lost in the traffic by my being slow to respond to a question. I was wanting to look at the source to kde-core and tried to install it using apt (I'm running sarge) I went to the apt documentation at debian.org for the "how-to". Unfortunately, it's not the results I expected - and I don't see anything in the doc explaining what happened - although I could be looking in the wrong place (the apt documentation under "Working with source packages). (1) I enter the command "apt-get source kde-core" My sources.list has the line: deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing main I'm not getting the files indicated by the documentation. There is no .orig.tar.gz or a .diff.gz file. I do see the following: meta-kde-3.1.2 (directory), meta-kde-3.1.2.tar.gz, meta-kde-3.1.2.dsc but these aren't mentioned in the apt documentation. Regardless, they don't have the kde source in them either. (2) I tried making sure that I had the required files as specified in the documentation by entering the command apt-get build-dep kde-core This fails with the messages Setting up noflushd (2.7.2-1) ... Starting No Flush Daemon: Error: Your kernel is configured with devfs, but devfs is not mounted anywhere. This means noflushd cannot work. Please consult the noflushd README for details invoke-rc.d: initscript noflushd, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing noflushd (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: noflushd E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I searched for this as well, but couldn't find what I'm missing. There is a line in the README about devfs, but I got the same result when I tried what it suggested. Can anyone let me in on what I'm missing? tia - ---Michael -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAaxSzjeziQOokQnARAhq0AJ9rP5WbazNVgRjeayFcTwbLQLd3DgCfY4yq 0dJqbjnS0JHKpYP+Z1dhPDE= =TAQn -END PGP SIGNATURE-
