Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: manpages-posix-dev
I'm currently using Jaunty. I can confirm that both manpages-posix and
manpages-posix-dev are installed:
-- 8< --
al...@workhorse:~/tmp$ sudo apt-get install manpages-posix manpages-posix-dev
Reading package lists... Done

manpages-posix is already the newest version.
manpages-posix set to manually installed.
manpages-posix-dev is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

However, when I try to get the sources for manpages-posix-dev, it
doesn't acknowledge the "-dev" and tries to pull down the source for
manpages-posix instead:
-- 8< --
al...@workhorse:~/tmp$ sudo apt-get source manpages-posix-dev

Skipping already downloaded file 'manpages-posix_2.16-1.dsc'
