It would help to see the contents of your sources.list. But I bet
that what happened is that at some point you ran "apt-cdrom add" to
add an etch CD to sources.list (e.g., by installing off an Etch CD),
and it's never been removed. If several CD sources all have the same
package, it's fairly arbitrary which one will get used. Find the entry
in sources.list that talks about /cdrom and delete it, or just dig up
the CD and put it into the drive.
