Bug#70985: apt prompting for CD-ROM that is in drive
Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Hi trying to install a new package from cd-rom using dselect (apt
method), when I was prompted to insert the CD labeled 'Debian GNU/Linux
2.2 r0 _Potato_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20000814)'. After I inserted
the disk apt gave the keeps prompting for the disk. This is the second
machine I've seen this problem on both times the fix was to re-run
'apt-cdrom add' and for all 3 CDs. Last install on this machine was
security updates for libc6. The CD-ROM drive works perfectly
Results of dselect install:
