Bug Description

The lame encoder is required for the KDE4 audiocd KIO-slave to offer MP3 functionality, so kubuntu-restricted-extras should depend on it. There's nothing more required than installing lame for that to work (however, the actual encoding does not work, but that's a different bug).

I got the following text while reporting this bug:
"kubuntu-restricted-extras (Ubuntu) guidelines:
Please do not report bugs about this package, as it no longer exists in any Ubuntu release, and has been incorporated into ubuntu-restricted-extras."
However, this is wrong, the packet very well exists in Kubuntu 9.04, and ubuntu-restricted-extras can not replace it. (a) it depends on gstreamer so it installs a lot of stuff I don't need and (b) it does not depend on libk3b-extracodecs and other packets required for full KDE functionality.

No, really, the text is right - kubuntu-restricted-extras *source* package no longer exists.

% apt-cache showsrc ubuntu-restricted-extras | grep Binary
Binary: ubuntu-restricted-extras, kubuntu-restricted-extras, xubuntu-restricted-extras

Reassigning to the source package that *does* exist.

affects: kubuntu-restricted-extras (Ubuntu) → ubuntu-restricted-extras (Ubuntu)

I'm sorry for the trouble, thanks for assigning it correctly know.
Though I have to admit I still don't know why that is, seeing that I can "apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras" and it does something different than "apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" would do, and I never installed or even looked at the source packets (that are the one added with "deb-src" in sources.list, right?).

No problem.

The source package is different to the binary package. Some packages build many binaries. For something like clamav, a virus scanner, the following binaries are produced: clamav-base, clamav-docs, clamav-dbg, clamav, libclamav-dev, libclamav6, clamav-daemon, clamav-testfiles, clamav-freshclam, clamav-milter.

What you're searching for and installing is the binary, not the source. However, in launchpad, we go by sources. If you ran 'apt-get source kubuntu-restricted-extras', you'd find it wouldn't exist.
