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<--

Also, updated source packages (pre-sid acceptance) can be got from:

--8<--
deb http://mentors.debian.net/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
--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
