2013-05-28 21:22:05 Brian Murray description When downloading source packages by source package name, apt-get ignores the default (or specified) release. This does not happen when downloading source packages by binary package name. I noticed this bug on our build server, which runs Ubuntu 12.04 but has sources for both precise and raring. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add an extra release to sources (i.e. add raring sources to precise) 2. Attempt to download source package by source name: apt-get source -t precise twisted or: apt-get source -o APT::Default-Release=precise twisted or: apt-get source twisted/precise 3. Source for twisted from raring is downloaded. 4. Attempt to download source package by binary name: apt-get source -t precise python-twisted or: apt-get source -o APT::Default-Release=precise python-twisted or: apt-get source python-twisted/precise 5. Apt will automatically select the source package from the binary name. 6. Source for twisted from precise is downloaded.
