I tried to build the package with debug symbols as described on the
wiki, but:

$ apt-get build-dep gnome-screensaver
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Ignore unavailable version '2.30.0-3' of package 'gnome-screensaver'
E: Unable to find a source package for gnome-screensaver
$

What do I need to do?


Thanks,
