I've installed squid using apt-get install squid, and it's installed squid 3.x. However I need to compile --with-openssl however when I attempt apt-get source squid it redirects to the squid3 (dummy) package and complains that there is no source.

An answer elsewhere suggested getting debian source, but the suggested instruction doesn't work and I suspect the question predates xenial, so how do I go about installing (and rebuilding) the source package for squid?

Best I've found so far, is an answer from 2007 on https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=68246 which stumbles at the above hurdle.

    Do you have the deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list uncommented (to match the equivalent deb lines that're uncommented)? – Thomas Ward♦ Nov 27 '18 at 18:52
  • great minds. I just checked that myself, and no, I'm an idiot – sibaz Nov 27 '18 at 19:01

OK, so I'm stupid. apt-cache search squid showed that squid came from the main ubuntu repository and /etc/apt/sources.list showed all deb-src entries were commented out.

Un-commenting the security.ubuntu.com...main entry, followed by sudo apt-get update and now apt-get source squid works fine
