Bug#722549: apt-get source with more than one argument fails
Package: apt
Version: 0.9.11.3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Starting with version 0.9.11, I can't use apt-get source with several
package names :
$ apt-get source perl coreutils
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
NOTICE: 'perl' packaging is maintained in the 'Git' version control system at:
git://anonscm.debian.org/perl/perl.git -b debian-5.18
E: Unable to find a source package for coreutils
As a workaround, I can do
$ for p in perl coreutils; do apt-get source $p; done
So this is not so annoying, but might be irritating.
Thanks
