Hi Praveen,

2013-05-23 11:13 Praveen A:

package: aptitude
severity: important

when cdrom is disconnected at boot time and reconnected after system
is booted, aptitude cannot mount the cdrom when trying to install
software from it.

If the cdrom is connected during boot, aptitude can mount and install it.

During boot time I get a message hd2 "tray is open or drive not ready"

Environment is virtualbox. Probably aptitude is not the best place to
file this bug. But don't know which other component to file it.


Sorry, but it's been a decade or so since I tested the Hurd for a short
period of time, and I am not familiar at all with problems like this.

In fact, I think that I never relied on aptitude and CDs in any Debian
system for more than a decade either.

We are going to have more clues or extra help from somebody if this bug
is to be addressed.


This doesn't seem to be a bug in aptitude, since it doesn't deal with
hardware drives at all, and the different methods to install (http,
cdrom, etc) come from apt.

After 3 years open, since nobody is working on it, it's better to close
it.

If/when people do care, they will open a new report (hopefully to the
package actually able to fix this issue) and provide current
information.


Cheers.

You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your
rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as
they follow the rules: laws and constitution.
