Package: apt Version: 0.3.3 Severity: wishlist apt-cdrom and apt-get with "apt-cdrom add"'ed CDs work fine when the CD-ROM drive is s locally present. However, it relies on the CD being mountable via /etc/fsab. This doesn't apply to CD-ROMs that are mounted via smbmount from s Windows machine.
While this is clearly a shortcoming in smbmount or mount, I believe that apt should provide a means to overcome that problem. Would it be possible to include a configuration option for the a mount or umount call? Acquire::cdrom::mountcall "mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom"; Acquire::cdrom::umountcall "umount /mnt/cdrom"; could be replacedd by Acquire::cdrom:mountcall "smbmount //windowsbox/cdrom /mnt/cdrom"; for a smbmount system. This would cover the common case when a Debian system is being administrated from a Windows box.
