I posted this yesterday, but I think it got lost in the traffic by my being 
slow to respond to a question.

I was wanting to look at the source to kde-core and tried to install it using
apt (I'm running sarge) 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 not getting the files indicated by the documentation. There is no
.orig.tar.gz or a .diff.gz file. I do see the following:

meta-kde-3.1.2 (directory), meta-kde-3.1.2.tar.gz, meta-kde-3.1.2.dsc

but these aren't mentioned in the apt documentation. Regardless, they don't 
have the kde source in them either.


(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 messages
	Setting up noflushd (2.7.2-1) ...
	Starting No Flush Daemon: Error: Your kernel is configured with devfs, but
	   devfs is not
	mounted anywhere. This means noflushd cannot work.
	Please consult the noflushd README for details
	invoke-rc.d: initscript noflushd, action "start" failed.
	dpkg: error processing noflushd (--configure):
	 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
	Errors were encountered while processing:
	 noflushd
	E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


I searched for this as well, but couldn't find what I'm missing. There is a 
line in the README about devfs, but I got the same result when I tried what 
it suggested. Can anyone let me in on what I'm  missing?
