It seems, for whatever reason(s), the previous install of debian,
"apt/cdrom add" liked this setup, but the most recent, and hopefully
last full install from scratch, did not like the Packages.gz.
I just re-ran "sudo dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null > Packages", re-wrote
the cdrom, and it worked.
Finicky, to say the least, but it works now.
Thanks to all for their tips
