[shawnlandden]

when the vcs url is bzr, apt suggests to "bzr get http://<url>"

but when running the suggested command, bzr says that "get" is deprecated for "branch"

Could you provide an example package for us to test this with? Thanks.

I can't confirm this:

person@ubuntu:~/src/packaging$ apt-get source apt
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
NOTICE: 'apt' packaging is maintained in the 'Bzr' version control system
at:
lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/apt/ubuntu
Please use:
bzr branch lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/apt/ubuntu
to retrieve the latest (possibly unreleased) updates to the package.
Need to get 3,435 kB of source archives.

Ahh, that not a url, and a differn't codepath.

You need to find a bzr package that isn't in launchpad. (like apt in
debian...)

If you switch your sources.list to debian you would see this. Otherwise
I'm not sure what packages in Ubuntu are bzr and NOT maintained in
launchpad. (also is it really wise to
not just use normal urls here?)

This bug was fixed in the package apt - 0.9.6ubuntu1

---------------
apt (0.9.6ubuntu1) quantal-proposed; urgency=low

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * merged from Debian, remaining changes:
    - use ubuntu keyring and ubuntu archive keyring in apt-key
    - run update-apt-xapian-index in apt.cron
    - support apt-key net-update and verify keys against master-keyring
    - run apt-key net-update in cron.daily
    - different example sources.list
    - APT::pkgPackageManager::MaxLoopCount set to 5000
    - apport pkgfailure handling
    - ubuntu changelog download handling
    - patch for apt cross-building, see http://bugs.debian.org/666772

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * Drop upgrade handling for obsolete conffile /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01ubuntu,
    removed in previous LTS.
  * prepare-release: declare the packages needed as source build deps.

apt (0.9.6) unstable; urgency=low

  [ David Kalnischkies ]
  * apt-pkg/cdrom.cc:
    - fix regression from 0.9.3 which dumped the main configuration
      _config instead of the cdrom settings (Cnf) as identified and
      tested by Milan Kupcevic, thanks! (Closes: #674100)
  * cmdline/apt-get.cc:
    - do not show 'list of broken packages' header if no package
      is broken as it happens e.g. for external resolver errors
    - print URIs for all changelogs in case of --print-uris,
      thanks to Daniel Hartwig for the patch! (Closes: #674897)
    - show 'bzr branch' as 'bzr get' is deprecated (LP: #1011032)
    - check build-dep candidate if install is forbidden
  * debian/apt-utils.links:
    - the internal resolver 'apt' is now directly installed in
      /usr/lib/apt/solvers, so don't instruct dh to create a broken link
  * doc/apt-verbatim.ent:
    - APT doesn't belong to the product 'Linux', so use 'APT' instead
      as after all APT is a big suite of applications
  * doc/examples/sources.list:
    - use the codename instead of 'stable' in the examples sources.list
      as we do in the manpage and as the debian-installer does
  * doc/apt-get.8.xml:
    - use apt-utils as package example instead of libc6
  * apt-pkg/contrib/cmdline.cc:
    - apply patch from Daniel Hartwig to fix a segfault in case
      the LongOpt is empty (Closes: #676331)
    - fix segfault with empty LongOpt in --no-* branch
  * ftparchive/apt-ftparchive.cc:
    - default to putting the Contents-* files below $(SECTION) as apt-file
      expects them there - thanks Martin-Éric Racine! (Closes: #675827)
  * apt-pkg/deb/deblistparser.cc:
    - set pkgCacheGen::Essential to "all" again (Closes: #675449)
  * apt-pkg/algorithms.cc:
    - force install only for one essential package out of a group
  * apt-pkg/aptconfiguration.cc:
    - if APT::Languages=none save "none" in allCodes so that the detected
      configuration is cached as intended (Closes: #674690, LP: #1004947)
  * apt-pkg/cacheiterators.h:
    - add an IsMultiArchImplicit() method for Dep- and PrvIterator

  [ Justin B Rye ]
  * doc/apt-cdrom.8.xml:
    - replace CDROM with the proper CD-ROM in text
    - correct disc vs. disk issues
  * doc/apt-extracttemplates.1.xml:
    - debconf is not DebConf
  * doc/apt-get.8.xml:
    - move dselect-upgrade below dist-upgrade
    - rev...
