You can't. Only binary packages can be installed, not source packages. > I have sources.list with lines: > deb http://ftp.ie.debian.org/debian sid main > deb-src http://ftp.ie.debian.org/debian sid main In this case, "apt-get source etoile" will download and unpack the source package into the current directory. You don't need root rights for that operation. > and after I run 'sudo aptitude update' I still can't find etoile with > 'aptitude search etoile'. Why? Because aptitude only deals with binary packages, and the etoile source package builds a binary package named "dictionaryreader.app".
