Source packages

I was wanting to look at the source to kde-core and tried to install it using
apt. 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 running sarge
I'm not getting the files indicated by the documentation. There is no
.orig.tar.gz or a .diff.gz file. I do see some meta files, but these aren't
mentioned in the .apt documentation
(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 message "Your kernel is configured with devfs, but devfs
is not mounted anywhere. This means noflushd cannot work".
I searched for this as well, but couldn't find what I'm missing. Can anyone
let me in on what I'm missing?
