How about: $ sudo apt-get source hello Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list E: Type "add-apt-repository sources" to do this automatically for you. $ sudo add-apt-repository sources deb-src lines have been added to your sources.list. Now type "apt-get update", and then "apt-get source ..." will work. $ sudo apt-get update (...) $ sudo apt-get source hello (works) To do this, we'd need to patch apt to add the second error line, and implement "sources" to add-apt-repository.
