Haha, you almost got it.
The short version:
apt-get -t unstable source fglrx-driver
But you need the deb-src line in your sources.list. See my previous
message. Also please forget about dch for now, we need to do something
else first. My mistake!
We are going to do this in parallel, ok? First I do a step, then I write
a message and you do it. That way you'll learn the process, and we'll
make sure there are no mistakes in my instructions.
The long version:
- -----------------
a) First we tell apt about sid:
$ sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
...
deb http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
...
[ESC]:wq (This tells vim to save and exit)
b) Next we run apt-get update:
$ sudo apt-get update
c) Now we forbid normal installation from sid, using a mechanism called
apt-pinning:
$ sudo vim /etc/apt/preferences.d/90-sid.pref
Explanation: Forbid sid.
Package: *
Pin: release n=sid
Pin-Priority: -1
[ESC]:wq ( = save and exit )
d) Now we install the sources from sid.
$ cd && \
mkdir fglrx-driver-debian-package && \
cd fglrx-driver-debian-package
$ pwd
/home/lina/fglrx-driver-debian-package
$ apt-get -t unstable source fglrx-driver
[... long wait ...]
