Hello Ron,
I just checked, and it's there. In fact, I just installed one of the
packages that failed previously:

However, when there is more than one package to install from the DVD,
it fails:

To further illustrate that the packages are on the DVD, for one of the
packages, I mounted the DVD and manually installed it (twolame)
successfully with dpkg -i.
But, in spite of the packages being there, and the apt-get program
correctly identifying the DVD, it seems to refuse to install more than
one at a time now, for some reason. Also, after getting the errors, it
locks the DVD in the drive. To get it out, I have to type "eject
cdrom" in the terminal.
If anyone knows why it's doing this, and can provide any pointers, I'd
appreciate it.
Mark
