Why is that?
Read the E: line yourself, it says something like: E: Unable to find a source package for /t This means /t testing is not interpreted as a option but as a normal argument. / is typically used in windows for command options but on unix its typically -.
You should use -t testing for your command and it will work, e.g. ,---- | apt-get -t testing source util-linux `----
Oh and make source that you have the corresponding deb-src entry in your sources.list{.d}
