I didn't have trouble with apt-cdrom to add the cd's as sources
(going from Potato stable to Woody stable), but now I have trouble
with apt-get not recognising the cd's? Anyway I'm still investigating.

Yes, I saw that exact same error.
I got around it by serendipity. I wanted ssh for other
reasons, and did apt-get install ssh (after that other failure).
That caused libc6 to be installed (without any pre-depends
dependencies), and I was able to do the rest.

Yeah, I'd like to know too.
Also, I've always wondered how you get apt or dpkg to tell you
which packages are being held back (you know that summary
that apt-get gives you, 1 package to install new, 15 packages
to upgrade, 1 package to remove and 1 package to hold). What
is that package being held?!?
I upgraded from Official Potato 2.2r4 (20011107), sparc to
Official Woody 3.0r0 (20020719) sparc via cd.
