Thanks, Alex. I have pointed apt to the said mountpoint but now it tells
me
W:The repository 'cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux testing_Stretch_-Official
Snapshot amd64 DVD Binary-1 [[date/time]] stretch Release' does not have a
Release file.
W:Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore
potentially dangerous to use.
W:See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration
details.
I guess I have to look for such a release file in the repositories and
download it. Or is there any other solution you'd consider?
By the way, there isn't any Stretch related key in the
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d file invoked by apt-key list. Maybe I have to
search manually for that key. But the DVD.iso should have any form of
Release file, shouldn't it?
Have a sunny nice saturday
Stephan
