It needs the deb-src urls so that it can fetch the source package description to install the build dependencies. If you don't want to add the deb-src urls, then you can download the dsc file manually. Just go to https://packages.debian.org/sid/emacs24, and click on the .dsc file listed on the right-hand side. Then look at the Build-Depends line. That's a list of all the packages that are needed to build. -- Hubert Chathi - Email/Jabber: hubert@uhoreg.ca - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 4096R/113A1368 (Key available at pool.sks-keyservers.net) Fingerprint: F24C F749 6C73 DDB8 DCB8 72DE B2DE 88D3 113A 1368
