OK, I removed the references to cdrom in my /etc/apt/sources.list, and
things run more cleanly. As a test I did # aptitude install sudo, and
it worked.
Now I turn to your recommendation and run: aptitude update && aptitude
upgrade, and while the update seems to go, I'm told there's nothing to
upgrade. I seriously doubt it:

Is it your impression that the first group of responses suggest that
apt-get update worked. But then why no packages needed to install. My
installation was from a fairly old cdrom set of debian
3.0r1. Shouldn't there be an enormous about of material to upgrade?
