The problem did originate when I tried to download some files from the net. The /var/lib/apt lists got filled with so many links, that when doing 'apt-get install' or 'apt-get remove' from the CDs, it threw up screen-full of links which apt-get could not sync and requested for a 'apt-get upgrade'. To get over this, I deleted all the web links from /var/lib/apt lists, and landed into the problem. > > If he is using stock debian from the CD without any upgrades, > apt-cdrom add should work without any hassles. Yes, it did the work perfectly. Regards, K. Ghosh. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Are you worried about your web server security?
