It seems to work well with other packages that are not the kernel, e.g.
$ apt-get source apt=0.7.25.3ubuntu7 Reading package lists... Done ... Get:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main apt 0.7.25.3ubuntu7 (dsc) [1,350B] Get:2 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main apt 0.7.25.3ubuntu7 (tar) [2,740kB] ... However, for the kernel it fails for me too. When I try to download it via $ apt-get source linux-image=2.6.32.21.22 it only downloads linux-meta. ** Summary changed: - it's impossible to download a specific package version source + it's impossible to download a specific kernel package version source ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/642749 Title: it's impossible to download a specific kernel package version source -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
