ho pensato che potrei  togliere lock e/o rinomare status-old in status.
Il problema e' che quando non e' riuscito piu' a leggere il cdrom aveva gia'
installato alcuni pacchetti. Quindi se rinomino staus-old in status mi
troverei con pachceti installati ma non in status.

inoltre

apt-get -f --fix-missing

mi da

apt 0.5.4 for linux i386 compiled on Aug 19 2001 01:02:26
Usage: apt-get [options] command
       apt-get [options] install|remove pkg1 [pkg2 ...]
       apt-get [options] source pkg1 [pkg2 ...]

apt-get is a simple command line interface for downloading and
installing packages. The most frequently used commands are update
and install.

ecc ecc.
