I also had problems with this, so I started the apt-cdrom-add procedure all over again. I believe now, that the CD sources can be fetched, although I'm completely stuck at the moment. You may want to check if there are entries for the CDs in your /var/lib/apt/lists that start with 'Debian%20GNU_Linux'. > > > 6% [Working] > > > > Media Change: Please insert the disc labeled 'Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 > > r0 _Woody_ - Unofficial i386 Binary-1 (0721)' in the drive > > '/cdbrenner/' and press enter > > > > 6% [Working] > > > > E: Internal Error, Couldn't configure a pre-depend > > Yes, I saw that exact same error. > > I got around it by serendipity.

What is that package being held?!? I put a lot of packages on hold by intention, because I wanted to make sure that if anything would go wrong, I wouldn't have to wait for two days to download. I used dselect and hit the '=' key for every single highlighted package. > I upgraded from Official Potato 2.2r4 (20011107), sparc to Official > Woody 3.0r0 (20020719) sparc via cd. Thanks for the hint with ssh. I will try it out. If anything goes wrong I probably will make a fresh install as I found out that my /var partition seems to have become too small. This gave me a lot of problems by the way which I didn't even mention. CDs not being recognised was probably one of them. Thank you very much for your reply. Andreas.
