This is a bashism in /etc/apt/apt-file.conf and you seem to have dash as /bin/sh. Please try again with the following change: In the line that starts with "cdrom =" change "read" into "read DUMMY" (without the quotes). Now it should wait for you to insert the cdrom. BTW, is there actually a Contents*.gz on the cd? You can skip trying the cdrom with the -N option to apt-file.
