Description of problem:
When running up2date from the command line with the --get-source
switch to download the source RPM, it fails with the following backtrace:

--- START BACKTRACE ---

    buffer = self._readFD(fd, filePath)
TypeError: _readFD() takes at least 6 arguments (3 given)

--- END BACKTRACE ---

I was able to fix this problem by changing line 182 to the following
two lines:

status = self.s.get_response_status()
buffer = self._readFD(fd, filePath, "w+", None, status, 0)

This is probably not the "right thing" but it works.  It looks like
the getPackageSource method needs to be changed to be closer to the
getPackage method. (It was from that method that I took the changes above)
