Bug#60909: Trouble with multiple CD's
Package: apt
Version: 0.3.18
Severity: normal
I have 2 CD's of debian archives (potato, from a couple of months ago).
Several times I have noticed that apt will prompt me to insert one of the
CD's, and then give me a bunch of error messages about not being able to find
the other CD. For example, here's a transcript of an early part of a
dselect run which is in process now:
0 packages upgraded, 82 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 34.2MB/43.6MB of archives. After unpacking 106MB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
Media Change: Please insert the disc labeled 'Debian beta #2 bf 2.2.3' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter
# at this point I inserted the CD; it spun up; I hit enter; all proceeded
Get:1 http://http.us.debian.org potato/main balsa 0.6.0-1.1 [351kB]
# notice it asked for disk #2 above, but complains about #1 below
Err cdrom://beta Debian 2.2.3 Debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/ doc-linux-html 1999.10-1
Wrong CD
Err cdrom://beta Debian 2.2.3 Debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/ docbook-xml

Wrong CD
Err cdrom://beta Debian 2.2.3 Debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/ gnomehack 1.0.5-1
Wrong CD
There are a lot of things weird about the CD's--in particular, they have the
downloaded Packages and Release files from the archive at one moment while
having only some of the debs. I used apt-cdrom to add the entries for
the sources.list.
Still, it seems there is a basic problem keeping track of which CD is in
the drive here.
