Thanks for your bugreport.

Thanks. Would a message like this have helped you? 
"""
      _error->Info(_("No CD-ROM could be auto-detected, using default
      "
                     "mount path '%s'. See 'man apt-cdrom' for more ", 
                     "information about CD-ROM auto-detection."),
                   _config->Find("Acquire::cdrom::mount"));
"""

Plus the following man-page addition:
"""
      --no-auto-detect, --cdrom
           Do not try to auto-detect the CD-ROM path. Usually combined
           with
           the --cdrom option. Configuration Item:
           Acquire::cdrom::AutoDetect.
"""

If so, I will add it to the repo. David already fixed the exit code
and misleading "Repeat this process..." message in his branch.

Cheers,
 Michael
