Package: apt Version: 0.5.4 I'm wanting to add a CD-ROM from a program to manage sources.list. Obviously, I have to add an entry to sources.list in order for the CD to be useful, but I want to have control over that process. However, I must use apt-cdrom to do the actual adding, because of the index files. But apt-cdrom always munges sources.list.
What's worse is that the obvious way to cause it to not munge sources.list damages your system. If you pass "-o Dir::Etc::sourcelist=/dev/null", apt-cdrom will happily replace the character device node /dev/null with a text file containing the sources.list line for the CD. So, for now, I'm passing "-o Dir::Etc::sourcelist=<temp_path>/junk" and removing the junk file. This is suboptimal, and arguably the behavior regarding /dev/null is dangerous.
