Definitely bionic, I just can't recount the alphabet order today; I
meant to say it was also fixed in artful (not "cosmic"....)

Title:
apt is unable to handle CDROMS with default mount option
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in apt source package in Xenial:
Triaged
Bug description:
I have found i am almost completely unable to use CDROM as an apt
repository on Ubuntu 14.04
I found the command apt-cdrom add by default, was unable to detect CDROMs
it was attempting to find them in /media/cdrom/
by default ubuntu now seems to mount cds in /media/$USER/ and this is not
something set via fstab
i was able to get them to add with the command
apt-cdrom add -m --cdrom /media/$USER/
I seem to have been able to pull the package list from the CD, but when it
comes to installing from it, apt encounters a similar error
it ask you to insert the disc in drive /media/cdrom/ again
I also am completely unable to add cds via the software & updates
setting manager, it always fails to find the cd, which is presumably
part of the same issue.
manually remounting with
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
get some things to work, but most of the actions trigger a remount which goes
back to the default location
I was finally able to get things working again properly by adding the fstab
line
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
resolves the problem for me
but this is a work around not a fix, it may break other stuff
In apt conf i have tried setting
Acquire::cdrom::mount "file/path/";
with various file paths, the file paths, to try and make it work with the
default mount behaviour,this looked to be the right setting to change as the
message changed accordingly to what i was setting, but i could not get it to
work for actually installing packages, even by setting an absolute file path
for my user in the media directory.
