Read the E: line yourself, it says something like:
E: Unable to find a source package for /t
This means /t testing is not interpreted as a option but as a normal
argument. / is typically used in windows for command options but on unix
its typically -.

You should use -t testing for your command and it will work, e.g.
,----
| apt-get -t testing source util-linux
`----

Oh and make source that you have the corresponding deb-src entry in your
sources.list{.d}
