-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was wanting to look at the source to kde-core and tried to install it using apt. I went to the apt documentation at debian.org for the "how-to". Unfortunately, it's not the results I expected - and I don't see anything in the doc explaining what happened - although I could be looking in the wrong place (the apt documentation under "Working with source packages).
(1) I enter the command "apt-get source kde-core" My sources.list has the line: deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing main I'm running sarge I'm not getting the files indicated by the documentation. There is no .orig.tar.gz or a .diff.gz file. I do see some meta files, but these aren't mentioned in the .apt documentation (2) I tried making sure that I had the required files as specified in the documentation by entering the command apt-get build-dep kde-core This fails with the message "Your kernel is configured with devfs, but devfs is not mounted anywhere. This means noflushd cannot work". I searched for this as well, but couldn't find what I'm missing. Can anyone let me in on what I'm missing? tia - ---Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAaa3FjeziQOokQnARAtxUAJ92rxh6U1oSFjaz64ZJKZJjPH1aoACfZwT4 uzh0l2Tbqek90sWsZIPj0u0= =Oj7d -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
