apt-get source [package] but need older version

DexterMorgan · 05-29-2017, 02:49 AM

Hi,

I need to download sourcecode for a package, but when I tried to download it with apt-get source [package] it was the wrong version, and I need an older version.

So, how to I get an older version of the sourcecode?

Yeah, I should've been more specific,

I'm running Linux Mint 18.1
Trying to download source code for cryptsetup:

apt-get source cryptsetup

this will get me source code for cryptsetup 1.6.6 and I need to get the sourcecode for cryptsetup 1.6.1.

How do i accomplish this?

Mint uses Ubuntu packages/repositories, so you should look there, unless you search for Mint specific packages. As for that version of package, it is located here:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/admin/cryptsetup

You will find link for source package on that page. Use your favorite download tool like wget, or simply download it with your browser.

edit: Oh, yes, you will need all 3 files listed there under source package, if you plan to build something from it in Debian way.

I'm trying to apply the nuke-patch for cryptsetup:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-a-4175606841/

But no one seem to know how this can be done.

I found another way to to this by:

Quote:

git clone https://github.com/offensive-securit...etup-nuke-keys
cd cryptsetup-1.6.1
patch -p1 < ../cryptsetup-nuke-keys/cryptsetup_1.6.1+nuke_keys.diff
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b -u4c
cd ..
dpkg -i libcryptsetup*.deb
dpkg -i cryptsetup*.deb

But I'm getting strange errors when trying to patch it from downloading 1.6.1 source code from here:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/admin/cryptsetup

Any chance you could walk me through it?

I'm not used at all to build someting from sourcecode or patch.

I tried to download cryptsetup sourcecode by:

apt-get source cryptsetup

but it gave me crypsetup-1.6.6 and unfortunantly nuke-keys doesn't seem to exist for 1.6.6

For that part, I've already gave you answer and where you can find 1.6.1.

Sorry, I do not feel competent enough when it comes to building packages and applying patches to guide you step by step through it.

Why don't you contact the creators of the patch and ask them?
