Bug#194247: apt: apt-get source imlib2 gets imlib
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.5.1
Severity: normal
As the subject says: if I run "apt-get source imlib2", apt sees that
there is an imlib2 binary package from the imlib source package and
downloads that. What I really wanted was to download the imlib2
source package.
If you want to keep the default behavior this way, at least there
should be a way to specify that I really meant the source package and
not the binary package.
