Bug#625447: apt-cdrom does not add CD at all; ignores drive
Package: apt
Version: 0.8.10.3
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable
I am using apt-cdrom for upgrading my system from a web interface. This
stopped working and after investigating; I noticed that apt 0.8.10
ignores my CD drive completely; while 0.7.20 operates as expected.
The odd thing seems to be that the newer version does not even prompt for
CDs, while messages on the internet all seem to point to the countrary.
