Thankyou. Bug number 157014 and 178331. For anyone who's interested
here's the workaround from the bug report. Simple enough - even for
me. :)

Martin Brodbeck (on debian-user-german) and Rustam Yangibayev (on=20
debian-cd) pointed out that current Debian 3.0r0 Jigdo-Images are=20
classified as "unstable" in /etc/apt/sources.lst when added with=20
apt-cdrom. This breaks interoperation with online ressources and
pin=20 preferences. cd-only users are not affected.

work-around:

1) change "unstable" to "stable" in /etc/apt/sources.list on all
   cdrom entries

2) rename lists in /var/lib/apt/lists e.g. like from "unstable"=20
   to "stable" manually or for example like this:

ls Deb* | sed 's/\(.*\)unstable\(.*\)/mv \"&\" \"\1stable\2\"/' | sh

Note: first make a dry-run without "|sh" and verify the output
=20=20=20=20=20=20
--=20
