Package: apt Version: 0.3.18 Severity: normal I have 2 CD's of debian archives (potato, from a couple of months ago). Several times I have noticed that apt will prompt me to insert one of the CD's, and then give me a bunch of error messages about not being able to find the other CD. For example, here's a transcript of an early part of a dselect run which is in process now:
0 packages upgraded, 82 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 34.2MB/43.6MB of archives. After unpacking 106MB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Media Change: Please insert the disc labeled 'Debian beta #2 bf 2.2.3' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter # at this point I inserted the CD; it spun up; I hit enter; all proceeded Get:1 http://http.us.debian.org potato/main balsa 0.6.0-1.1 [351kB] # notice it asked for disk #2 above, but complains about #1 below Err cdrom://beta Debian 2.2.3 Debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/ doc-linux-html 1999.10-1 Wrong CD Err cdrom://beta Debian 2.2.3 Debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/ docbook-xml 3.1.7.1-1 Wrong CD Err cdrom://beta Debian 2.2.3 Debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/ gnomehack 1.0.5-1 Wrong CD There are a lot of things weird about the CD's--in particular, they have the downloaded Packages and Release files from the archive at one moment while having only some of the debs. I used apt-cdrom to add the entries for the sources.list. Still, it seems there is a basic problem keeping track of which CD is in the drive here. -- System Information Debian Release: 2.2 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux wheat 2.2.14-compact #1 Fri Feb 18 19:14:31 MST 2000 i586 Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.1.3-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libstdc++2.10 1:2.95.2-7 The GNU stdc++ library
