Hi, 

How can I get source package from unstable when in squeeze? 

$ apt-get source util-linux /t unstable

$ apt-get source util-linux /tunstable

E: Unable to find a source package for 

Why is that?

FYI, get a specific version (from unstable) works:

$ apt-cache policy util-linux
util-linux:
  Installed: 2.17.2-3
  Candidate: 2.17.2-3
  Version table:
 *** 2.17.2-3 0
         50 http://cdn.debian.net unstable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2.16.2-0 0
        360 http://cdn.debian.net testing/main Packages

$ apt-get source util-linux=2.17.2-3
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Need to get 5378kB of source archives.
Get:1 http://cdn.debian.net unstable/main util-linux 2.17.2-3 (dsc) 
[1481B]
. . .

Please help. 

Thanks
