Oh.. Yes of course. That explains this bug quite nicely. I thought I had a work around for this, but I guess it doesn't work. Someone changed the ISO file system driver basically so that directories are not returned entirely the same between the two kernels. I don't know exactly what that change is. > BTW: perhaps this bug should be retitled to something like "apt doesn't > recognize my CDs any more" - the current title suggests annoying, but > completely harmless behaviour. I think it will just have to be documented and closed - there is not much I can do about it. Jason
