Message-Id: <[🔎] 20020721175531.06A48775@pc56-61.oslo.avidi.no>

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: important
Since I hate clogging up the root directory of my installations, I mount all
my "external" file systems under /mnt, and have this in my /etc/fstab:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user 0 0
Whereas apt-cdrom can be made to understand that by using
apt-cdrom -d /mnt/cdrom add
when registering the cds (without -d it fails mysteriously complaining about
the cd being broken), it's impossible for apt-get to understand that the
disk should indeed be mounted under /mnt/cdrom. It just keeps asking over
and over for me to insert the cd into /cdrom. I have to manually add an
extra
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user 0 0
line to /etc/fstab to be able to use apt-get.
Apt-cdrom should understand non-default locations for cd-rom mounts (just
look for iso9660 file systems or /dev/cdrom?)
If that's not possible, the -d option should be recorded in the sources.list
file so that apt-get can find the disk properly.
I can imagine that the same problem would appear if you would have both a
cd-rom and a dvd-rom in the machine (one of my other pcs have that), and try
to use both cd and dvd media with the pure cd-rom drive as /cdrom.

You should set this option in apt.conf with:
Acquire::cdrom::mount "/mnt/cdrom";
