An update is that this seems to be due the fact that only root has permissions to /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/90ubuntu-advantage which is evidently the critical file required to authenticate with the Ubuntu ESM servers. Running "sudo apt-get source" instead does work.
So perhaps this is how the ubuntu-advantage-tools package is intended to work rather than a "bug" as such. However, normally one does not have to run "apt-get source" as root for it to work, so this is certainly distinct functionality with ubuntu-advantage-tools than in general for a Ubuntu system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1937316 Title: Cannot download source packages provided by Ubuntu ESM To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-advantage-tools/+bug/1937316/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
