Package: apt
Version: 0.5.27
If I give the following:
$ apt-get --print-uris source PACKAGE_NAME
$ apt-get --print-uris source PACKAGE_NAME -t stable
$ apt-get --print-uris source PACKAGE_NAME -t testing
$ apt-get --print-uris source PACKAGE_NAME -t unsable
I have the same results
The same you can have when you append the version after the source
For example if you take the abiword package (that have three different
versions for stable, testing and unstable) the -t flag do not work
so
$ apt-get --print-uris source abiword=1.0.2+cvs.2002.06.05-1woody2
$ apt-get --print-uris source abiword=1.0.2+cvs.2002.06.05-1woody2 -t stable
$ apt-get --print-uris source abiword=1.0.2+cvs.2002.06.05-1woody2 -t testing
$ apt-get --print-uris source abiword=1.0.2+cvs.2002.06.05-1woody2 -t unstable
all give me the same results
You can have same results with apt-get -s install
If I do
# apt-get -s isntall PACKAGE_NAME -t DEBIAN_VERSION
it work fine
but if I use the version it don't work anymore
# apt-get -s isntall PACKAGE_NAME=PACK_VER -t DEBIAN_VERSION
for example
# apt-get -s install abiword=1.0.2+cvs.2002.06.05-1woody2 -t testing
it try to install the stable version
I think it is better to check always the -t flag and print an error
message (for example: not found) if the Debian version (with -t) is
different from the one of the package version
