Subject: apt: want binary->source mapping from apt-get source even when being explicit

Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2002 14:11:12 -0400 (EDT)

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: wishlist

              A specific source version can be  retrieved  by  postfixing  the
              source  name with an equals and then the version to fetch, simi-
              lar to the mechanism used for the package  files.  This  enables
              exact  matching  of the source package name and version, implic-
              itly enabling the APT::Get::Only-Source option.

152129 already notes that I can't fetch packages by release -- so I'd
like to be able to fetch them by explicit version, and I *still*
can't, without doing the bin->source mapping myself.   (The real goal:
"I have a list of packages and a release -- give me all the sources"
ie, the sources to what actually got installed on something.)

Subject: Fixed: apt-get source <pkg>=<version> does not work as expected for differing source/binary versions

Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2009 14:08:20 +0200

Version: 0.7.22

Thanks for the initial reports and the reminder!

It is not listed in the changelog, but the bzr log indicates
in rev 1561.1.68 that the fix is included since 0.7.22.

A quicktest also suggests that the issue is fixed now so
i close these bugreports - if you think this is wrong, please
feel free to (re)reopen these bugreports.


Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
