Hey!

Just ran into an apt bug which makes it a little trickier to port 
packages when running Lucid:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/502641

Problem: apt-get source foo=version fails to get the version requested

Workaround: add a 'deb' line as well as a 'deb-src' line in your 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/puredyne-team-ppa-karmic.list

--8<--
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/puredyne-team/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/puredyne-team/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
--8<--

Side-effect: might mess up your Lucid install with a mix of packages 
from Karmic, so be careful when aptitude safe-upgrade.

Hope this tip is useful!  Thanks,


Claude
