Bug Description
Binary package hint: python-apt
Even though I can successfully use "apt-get source" to get a source package, I can't get python-apt to do the same.
Note, this is a regression from Karmic.
Example test case:
>>> import apt
>>> c = apt.cache.Cache()
>>> p = c["coreutils"]
>>> p.candidate.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/
raise ValueError("No source for %r" % self)
ValueError: No source for <Version: package:'coreutils' version:
>>> ^D
$ apt-get source coreutils

[ Julian Andres Klode ]
* apt/package.py:
- Decode using utf-8 in installed_files (LP: #407953).
- Fix fetch_source() to work when source name = binary name (LP: #552400).
* python/cache.cc:
- Check that 2nd argument to Cache.update() really is a SourceList object.
* python/generic.cc:
- Map ArchiveURI property to archive_uri
* utils/migrate-
- Open files in universal newline support and pass filename to ast.parse.
- Add has_key to the list of deprecated functions.
- Don't abort if parsing failed.
- do not require files to end in .py if they are passed on the command
line or if they contain python somewhere in the shebang line.
