How to get source package with aptitude on linux? -


i can source packages using apt-get source , there way using aptitude ? downloaded .deb package python2.6 using aptitude , unzipped using ar.

aptitude download python2.6 ar xv python2.6_2.6.5-1ubuntu6_i386.deb 

i downloaded python source using apt-get

sudo apt-get source python2.6 

the contents of both downloads different. why ?

aptitude download python2.6 retrieves binary package python2.6.

apt-get source python2.6 retrieves source package generates binary package python2.6.

source downloads include original source tarball, debian diff , signed certificate file.
