Public bug reported:
When downloading source packages by source package name, apt-get ignores
the default (or specified) release. This does not happen when
downloading source packages by binary package name.
I noticed this bug on our build server, which runs Ubuntu 12.04 but has
sources for both precise and raring.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add an extra release to sources (i.e. add raring sources to precise)
2. Attempt to download source package by source name:
apt-get source -t precise twisted
or: apt-get source -o APT::Default-Release=precise twisted
or: apt-get source twisted/precise
3. Source for twisted from raring is downloaded.
4. Attempt to download source package by binary name:
apt-get source -t precise python-twisted
or: apt-get source -o APT::Default-Release=precise python-twisted
or: apt-get source python-twisted/precise
5. Apt will automatically select the source package from the binary name.
6. Source for twisted from precise is downloaded.
