Public bug reported:

cdromupgrade can't be run from the alternate Gutsy install CD as
described ate the bottom of this page:

http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading

The CD gets auto-mounted as "Ubuntu 7.10 i386" and not as 'cdrom'.

Trying to run the cdromupgrade script causes the following error:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo sh /media/Ubuntu\ 7.10\ i386/cdromupgrade 
[: 23: 7.10: unexpected operator
tar: /media/Ubuntu: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: 7.10: Not found in archive
tar: i386/dists/stable/main/dist-upgrader/binary-all//gutsy.tar.gz: Not found 
in archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Could not find the upgrade application in the archive, exiting

Workaround is to remount the cdrom manually on /media/cdrom as detailed
in this thread (7th post):

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=580338

The naming of the cd also seems to stop it being detected in software-
sources, although that might be caused by something else.

Did anyone actually test the cdromupgrade script before release? :p
