There'll be CD images of Ubuntu 8.04.2 fairly soon (this week, we hope)
that you can use to upgrade without Internet access.

Thanks for your help tz.
Just updating back here on how I fixed this for others in the same boat:
I downloaded the apt deb package from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com
/hardy-updates/apt
Then I copied it across to the server that didn't have internet
connectivity and can only be updated using
I haven't tried this specifically (as a work-around), but if you burn a
recent Hardy daily build (dvd to get more packages?), it will have the
apt-cdrom tool updated, and the installer should recognize it as having
updates and do the upgrade of the packages. Then Intrepid should
install without
Does anyone have a fix for this? I'm trying to upgrade server 8.04 to
8.10 and am seeing this problem when I apt-cdrom add.
This server never connects to the internet (corporate lan), and all the
upgrades have been through ISO images. I've done this successfully for
the previous 2 releases or so.
This bug is STILL THERE on Interpid. And in my opinion, it's a bloody
big bug. I am dumbfounded that Canonical did not test this before the
release.
So I burned an ISO of Ubuntu 8.10. I put it in to the drive, but it
insisted on installing clean instead of offering me an upgrade to my
existing
After rebooting the laptop, the error doesn't happen anymore (i guess
apt needed a reload to get the updated code), but i still can't use the
normal installation CD to upgrade. I need the alternate CD it seems.
This sucks. It is completely illogical to not have an upgrade facility
on the normal
I upgraded to this apt version and did a range of standard operations,
which all worked fine.
Since Intrepid will be released tomorrow, and this affects CD upgrades,
I waive the 7 day period and copy it to -updates now.

Back in the Duplicate bug report
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267239), I asked if the dist-upgrade
process or something else would insure an updated apt-cdrom before the
intrepid upgrade or some other mechanism would insure hardy had this
upgraded package BEFORE the intrepid upgrade (consider
Or to put it briefly, has anyone tried a NON-updated Hardy with a
current Intrepid CD - especially one without an internet connection, but
even one with access.

I can verify that apt 0.7.9ubuntu17 in 8.04 is unable to add an intrepid
iso image and that apt 0.7.9ubuntu17.1 in hardy-proposed is able to do
so. Further tests of apt from hardy-proposed showed that it was able to
do additional installs, updates, and dependency calculation, but more
verification
Are we going to backport some form of this apt, so that upgrades from
hardy, with an intrepid alternate CD, will work?

Thanks for your bugreport.
I fixed this in my bzr branch by ignoring non-existing files on the CD.
It will do the right thing when it comes to writing the packages file to
the lists/ dir (uncompress it etc).

I may be slightly naive here (having not looked into the code yet), but
can we not have apt-cdrom reuse the apt-get codepath to unpack

Release file verification?
One could, of course, make the above conditional on the CD not
