Any idea how to change its config? I used apt-cdrom briefly a few weeks ago and noted that it appears to be hardcoded to use /cdrom as a mountpoint. There must be a /cdrom directory, and an /etc/fstab entry for the CD-ROM to mount on /cdrom. I didn't explore deeply but noted this at the time. IMO it's a bug, should probably be filed as such (or checked). From apt.conf(5): cdrom CDROM URIs; the only setting for CDROM URIs is the mount point, cdrom::Mount which must be the mount point for the CDROM drive as specified in /etc/fstab. It is possible to provide alternate mount and unmount commands if your mount point cannot be listed in the fstab (such as an SMB mount). The syntax is to put /cdrom/::Mount foo; within the cdrom block. It is important to have the trailing slash. Unmount commands can be specified using UMount. Brent
