compiling - (Solved) apt-build Missing source package name for source_by_source() - Ask Ubuntu


i installed apt-build , can not seem working. example:

~$ sudo apt-build --reinstall install boinc-client missing source package name source_by_source(). 

or

~$ sudo apt-build install gedit gedit not built because doesn't have source package. missing source package name source_by_source(). 

it seems apt-build unable having problem repository. went , found [a repository boinc-client][1] see if fix problem. added sudo add-apt-repository ppa:costamagnagianfranco/boinc success. still can't build boinc-client specifically, nor can build package.

i have searched google answers. similar issue found apt-build & chromium ppa not helpful me.

system information: ubuntu 16.04.1 lts linux kernel 4.8.0-040800-generic #201610022031 smp mon oct 3 00:32:57 utc 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 gnu/linux

i intsalled thursday night. have updated kernel , installed software.

attempting resolve issue edited /etc/apt/sources.list trying troubleshoot this. ended. http://pastebin.com/ddqft3gq

i thinking might easy fix, , lack experience , or knowledge it. in advance.

solution: using ubuntu xenial , if @ sources.list on place, trusty. don't think did that, knows. didn't notice yesturday when asked question. use sources list generator , correct sources list fix problem. https://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
