Now findmnt returns
├─/media/richard/Debian 9.1.0 i386 1  /dev/sr1    iso9660 
ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,

└─/home/richard/Desktop/testdvd       /dev/sr1    iso9660 
ro,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf

I had tried "umount /media/richard/Debian 9.1.0 i386 1", but umount 
objected to the spaces in the file name.

Synaptic still returns

E: Type 'file:/home/richard/Desktop/testdvd' is not known on line 2 in 
source list /etc/apt/sources.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

Is the problem that the dvd is automounted at boot?
Thank you
