Package: apt
Version: 0.8.10.3
Severity: important
After upgrading from lenny to squeeze, trying to build packages from unstable,
apt-get source sometimes works:
simon@dealer ~ % apt-get source apt
...
Get:1 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main apt 0.8.14.1 (dsc) [1,363 B]
...
(That is, correctly, fetching the unstable version.) And sometimes fails
spectacularly:
simon@dealer ~ % apt-get source duplicity
...
E: Ignore unavailable version '0.6.08b-1' of package 'duplicity'
E: Unable to find a source package for duplicity
Wait, 0.6.08b-1 is the *stable* version. I don't want the stable version,
that's the whole point. Oh, maybe I need to say "-t unstable":
simon@dealer ~ % apt-get -t unstable source duplicity
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Ignore unavailable target release 'unstable' of package 'duplicity'
E: Unable to find a source package for
But clearly there is an entry for duplicity in the sources list:
simon@dealer ~ % grep duplicity_ /var/lib/apt/lists/*Sources
a35f37d3a519b51be903c3f71588f487 1032 duplicity_0.6.12-1.dsc
9b84c984054550bbb2ba29b553567b7b 296045 duplicity_0.6.12.orig.tar.gz
17ecd266d7b7307512ab969c8fbd2669 13272 duplicity_0.6.12-1.diff.gz
...
In fact, there are *two different versions*:
...
b73a68286bc79140aab950ed13747a49 1033 duplicity_0.6.13-1.dsc
b3d627f35fc527b00121925840d5cca7 296955 duplicity_0.6.13.orig.tar.gz
ee420e83778e7a8dda731ed848cf84ab 13635 duplicity_0.6.13-1.diff.gz
Obviously that's not an ideal scenario but apt-get source should *not*
throw its hands up and say "obviously you wanted the stable version which
I can't find".

Hi all,
I'm looking at bug reports to try and clean some up and I noticed this one. I
think we can close it, see my reasoning below your message and if you don't
agree feel free to reopen the bug.

This all seems to be working as expected. I hope you agree with me :)
This is all tested on the current unstable code, but given that I thought this
looked a lot like #607999 I'm (perhaps wrongfully) assuming this is also fixed
on bookworm.
Cheers,
Wesley
