Upgrading to sid from potato using unofficial CD-ROM's
Hi!
I'm trying to upgrade to sid from potato using unofficial CD-ROM's.
They seem to be ok, but 'apt-cdrom add' says:
Using CD-ROM mount point /cdrom/
Unmounting CD-ROM
Please insert a Disc in the drive and press enter
Mounting CD-ROM
Identifying.. [44ab4f5c5591363b72fc3fe648619814-2]
Scanning Disc for index files.. Found 13 package indexes and 6 source
indexes.
Found label 'Debian GNU/Linux 2.3 "Sid" - Unofficial i386 Binary-1
(20010429)'
This Disc is called:
'Debian GNU/Linux 2.3 _Sid_ - Unofficial i386 Binary-1 (20010429)'
Reading Package Indexes... Done
Wrote 1764 records with 6110 missing files.
Alot of entries were discarded, something may be wrong.
Reading Source Indexes... Done
Wrote 0 records with 4539 missing files.
W: No valid records were found.
E: Handler silently failed
#
And it doesn't include the corresponding line in 'sources.list'.
The CD-ROM's seem to be ok, because if I include the following entries
in 'sources.list':
deb file:/cdrom sid main contrib non-free
deb file:/cdrom sid/non-US main contrib non-free
deb file:/cdrom sid-secured main contrib non-free
deb file:/cdrom sid-secured/non-US main contrib non-free
then 'apt-get update' finds that everything is ok and 'apt-get
dist-upgrade' upgrade the available packages. The problem is that I
can mount every CD-ROM at the same time! and obviously I don't have in
my hard disk enough space to copy every CD-ROM in it:
Any ideas or experience upgrading to sid from CD-ROM?
Thanks in advance.
