Where is the source code for installed applications? For example, I installed supertux2 from the Add/Remove Applications and it was easy enough to find the executable in /usr/games but where is the source code?

To get the source of a package called xyz, run

apt-get source xyz

Okay. I get the following error message:

E: Unable to find a source package for supertux2

Am I missing something?

Edit: the package is actually called "supertux". My mistake.

I am getting a different error message though:

Could not connect to archive.trisquel.org:443 (18.4.89.22), connection timed out

Is that a problem at my end? No one else has that problem?
