All this is the fetch script and I see the problem. It tries to downloads the source for every version of the bzip2 binary it knows. And you do not have a deb-src entry for every deb entry, so not every version does have sources. And even with sources for all versions the create will later complain about multiple *.dsc files. But I think I know how to fix this. Instead of going through the apt-cache showsrc bzip2 output it should download the debs first and then go through the dpkg -I output to fetch coresponding source. > dpkg-source: error: cannot open *dsc: No such file or directory > > So let's try some other common syntax to select a specific variant: > > # /usr/lib/ia32-libs-tools/create -t testing bzip2 > E: Command line option 't' [from -t] is not known. > ... > > # /usr/lib/ia32-libs-tools/create bzip2/testing > W: Unable to locate package bzip2/testing > E: No packages found Afaik for apt-get source neither -t testing not /testing works. But if I use the above idea to fetch binaries first and scan them then that can be supported by fetch and create. > Reading package lists...
