Do you mean this would be the right thing to do?
# apt-get --only-source build-dep pine
# apt-get --only-source -b source pine
In either case apt-get(8) says --only-source only has meaning for the
source command. The command that failed was the "build-dep" command.
Could you please update the manpage?
