Public bug reported: Binary package hint: apt
Hello. When any "deb-src" repository listed in '/etc/apt/sources.list' can't be reached, 'apt-get source' fails. To reproduce (on Kubuntu Dapper, with 'build-essential' installed): 1) add the following (nonsensical by content, just useful to demonstrate) line to your 'sources.list': "deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu dapper-commercial main", and save it 2) do 'LC_ALL=C apt-get source libxine-main1' The command dies with the following response: "Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done E: Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_dapper-commercial_main_source_Sources - open (2 No such file or directory)" This is somewhat silly, because the repository in question has nothing to do with the package we are requesting, and the sources are available from the main repository. ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- 'apt-get source' fails when any "deb-src" repository is unreachable https://launchpad.net/bugs/85590 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
