Bug Description

When /etc/apt/sources.list does not list the deb-src entries, bughelper gives an error like this:

$ ./bughelper vino
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./bughelper", line 58, in ?
    main()
  File "./bughelper", line 34, in main
    if not utils.package_exists(cl.sourcepackage):
  File "/home/alexm/ubuntu/bughelper/bughelper.main/bugHelper/utils.py", line 25, in package_exists
    sources = apt_pkg.GetPkgSrcRecords()
SystemError: E:You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list

This error should be catched and reported nicely.

surely forcing people to have deb-src lines is a bad thing (commented or
not)? i dont have them on my non-dev systems.

I don't know what the problem is with having them on production systems, could you let us know?

In addition isn't bug triage a "dev" thing to do?

Sweet, thank you very much for working on this patch Guillaume, I've committed it to the main repository in revision 38.

Karl: If requiring uncommented sources lines to use bughelper is a problem could you open another bug for that please?
