Bug#609566: upgrade-reports: Idendity of cdrom drive
Package: upgrade-reports
Followup-For: Bug #609566
I attempted to use the DVDs of the Official release of Debian 6.0 by
following the routines described in the release notes - chapter 4.
Everything worked correctly until I got to Section 4.4.6.
"apt-get dist-upgrade" found 607 packages to be upgraded, 753 packages to be
newly installed and 70 packages to be removed. It invited me to load the
first DVD, made all the changes to packages that were on that DVD and then
asked me to insert the second DVD.
This command could not be carried out - for the following reason:
when the dist-upgrade started the sym-link "/cdrom -> /dev/hdc" was correct.
It changed during the upgrade. The mounted drive had been renamed "/dev/sr0".
Since "/cdrom" still pointed to "/dev/hdc", the drive carriage could not be
opened.
