Bug#441178: still exists on Debian Jessie
Dear maintainer,
I can confirm this issue is still a part of Debian Jessie. Here is the
output of the test I ran:
wouterwijsman@lenovo-wouterwijsman:~/test$ apt-get source -t unstable pcsx2
Reading package lists... Done
E: The value 'unstable' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a
release is not available in the sources
My sources list looks like this:
deb http://mirror.nl.leaseweb.net/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mirror.nl.leaseweb.net/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
# jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://mirror.nl.leaseweb.net/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib
non-free
deb-src http://mirror.nl.leaseweb.net/debian/ jessie-updates main
contrib non-free
# jessie-backports, previously on backports.debian.org
deb http://mirror.nl.leaseweb.net/debian/ jessie-backports main contrib
non-free
deb-src http://mirror.nl.leaseweb.net/debian/ jessie-backports main
contrib non-free
# iceweasel repo
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ jessie-backports iceweasel-release
deb-src http://mozilla.debian.net/ jessie-backports iceweasel-release
# sources for testing, unstable and experimental
deb-src http://mirror.nl.leaseweb.net/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mirror.nl.leaseweb.net/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mirror.nl.leaseweb.net/debian/ experimental main contrib
non-free
I also found a workaround for this issue. When you don't use the -t
option and use package/unstable instead, it will download the source
drom the correct repo:
wouterwijsman@lenovo-wouterwijsman:~/test$ apt-get source pcsx2/unstable

I hope this is of some use to fixing this bug or to people encountering
this bug.
Kind regards,
