Bug#409904: apt: --ignore-missing doesn't work for source command
Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.4
Severity: normal
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
While fetching the source of all installed packages, to honor the GPL source
offer for a Custom Debian Distribution, the following command was executed:
apt-get --download-only --ignore-missing source $(dpkg --get-selections | cut -f 1)
Unfortunately, it turns out that --ignore-missing is ignored by APT whenever
using the source command.
It would be highly desirable to support --ignore-missing for source, since
a CDD may sometimes contain packages whose source cannot be shipped.
