I got my cheapbytes debian 2.1 4 cd set and tried to upgrade. I downloaded the latest apt package (0.3.1) from ftp.debian.org and installed it. I ran the apt-cdrom program to set up the /etc/apt/sources.list file. Then I ran apt-get update. (I which I remembered to run the loging script first!) I got some dependancy problems and was told to use the -f switch. So I tried that. (I had ALREADY upgraded to use new libc from slink via ftp, and hadn't gotten the lib6c-dev, which was the complaint). I then tried apt-get ugrade and had the same problem, so I added the -f switch. Now I was asked to install the first CD (binary #1) which I did. I got a long list of wrong cd messges asking for cd #2, and a message that cd swapping was not surported so to try the 'fix missing' switch several times. But I got the same results. (I also had to make a sim-link between /cdrom and my cdrom's real mount point as this was not carried over from the apt-cdrom command).
I should really try this again with the logging script running so I can have the exact error messages, but perhaps this sounds familiar to someone.
