Debian WSL Error : You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list

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

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main                                                                            
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ buster/updates main
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian 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 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main
...

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

    3. Run sudo apt update.
    4. To verify run: apt source libfreefare
