Well, no, at least not now when I try it. I was only looking at the
end of all the response, for I can't seem to copy/paste from an
xterm. However, this time did an eshell in emacs and saved the buffer
that resulted from the apt-get update to a file. Here is the first few
lines:
Err http://ftp.br.debian.org woody/main Packages
Could not connect to 127.0.0.1:3128 (127.0.0.1). - connect
(111 Connection refused)
Err http://ftp.br.debian.org woody/main Release
Could not connect to 127.0.0.1:3128 (127.0.0.1). - connect
(111 Connection refused)
...
In the sources.list, the internet URIs are followed by CDROM URIs:
rr cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r1 _Woody_ - Official i386
Binary-7 (20021218)] unstable/contrib Packages
Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD recognized by APT.
apt-get update cannot be used to add new CDs
News to me! So instead of apt-get install <package>, I'd use apt-cdrom
install <package>? But I prefer aptitude. Would it therefore be: #
aptitude-cdrom install <package>?
The intial response suggests to me that I'm misconfigured somehow.
