I'm trying to get build-dep vlc through Debian WSL in Windows 10. In the sources.list, all I get is:

deb buster main deb buster-updates main deb buster/updates main deb buster-backports main

Looks to me like I'm missing a couple sources, if so how can I get those?

You can duplicate and append the lines in sources.list with replacing deb with deb-src. Like this

... deb-src buster main ...

And run apt update then apt build-dep should work.

  1. nano /etc/apt/sources.list
  2. Add deb-src buster main
  3. Run sudo apt update.
  4. To verify run: apt source libfreefare
