Bug#377424: (no subject)
Subject: apt-get source: bug still present in 0.7.20.1
Followup-For: Bug #377424
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.20.1
The bug is still present in 0.7.20.1 and it is really annoying. I
don't know the exact reasons, but "apt-get source" fails for about half
of the source packages:
sven@bagheera:~/tmp> apt-get source imagemagick
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to find a source package for imagemagick
"apt-cache showsrc imagemagick" shows two available version, and
"apt-get source imagemagick=7:6.4.8.0-1" works fine.
There are many reports for this bug. I merged two of them, but there
seem to be more.
