This works with a Jessie DVD-1. The Stretch DVD has the same structure.
ls -l /media/cdrom/debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso/dists/stretch/main/binary-amd64/
should show Packages.gz.
Comment out the sources.list entry and do 'apt-get update'; lock and
/partial should now be the only files in /var/lib/apt/lists. /partial
should be empty. Also do 'apt-get clean'.
Now revert the commenting out and proceed with 'apt-get update'.
