Hello, I have a problem with apt-get. (Sorry for overlong lines in the following.)
My /etc/apt/sources.list is set up with apt-cdrom, and that part worked correctly: | [...] | Writing new source list | Source List entries for this Disc are: | deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux slink (2.1) 2_4 main binary-i386 section 2, contrib SAM19990325/" debian/dists/frozen/contrib/binary-i386/ | deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux slink (2.1) 2_4 main binary-i386 section 2, contrib SAM19990325/" debian/dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/ | deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux slink (2.1) 2_4 main binary-i386 section 2, contrib SAM19990325/" debian/dists/frozen/non-US/binary-i386/ | deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux slink (2.1) 2_4 main binary-i386 section 2, contrib SAM19990325/" debian/dists/frozen/non-free/binary-i386/ But now, when doing an apt-get install <package>, I´m getting | Media Change: Please insert the disc labeled 'Debian GNU_Linux slink | (2.1) 2_4 main binary-i386 section 2, contrib SAM19990325' in the | drive '/cdrom/' and press enter I´m inserting the disc (or rather have it already in the drive, the same CD for which I just did apt-cdrom), but this message won´t go away. The last output of an strace -f apt-get install <package> is, after a lot of umounting /cdrom, open´ing and stat´ing /etc/mtab, the following: | [pid 4908] write(4, "/dev/hdc2 /suse ext2 rw 0 0\n", 28) = 28 | [pid 4908] fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=223, ...}) = 0 | [pid 4908] write(4, "/dev/hdc6 /suse/usr ext2 rw 0 0\n"..., 32) = 32 | [pid 4908] fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=255, ...}) = 0 | [pid 4908] write(4, "/dev/hdc7 /suse/oldopt ext2 rw 0"..., 35) = 35 | [pid 4908] fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=290, ...}) = 0 | [pid 4908] read(3, "", 4096) = 0 | [pid 4908] close(3) = 0 | [pid 4908] munmap(0x4000c000, 4096) = 0 | [pid 4908] fchmod(4, 0644) = 0 | [pid 4908] write(4, "/dev/hdc8 /dosi ntfs ro,noexec,n"..., 48) = 48 | [pid 4908] close(4) = 0 | [pid 4908] munmap(0x4000d000, 4096) = 0 | [pid 4908] rename("/etc/mtab.tmp", "/etc/mtab") = 0 | [pid 4908] unlink("/etc/mtab~") = 0 | [pid 4908] write(2, "umount: /cdrom/: not mounted\n", 29) = 29 | [pid 4908] _exit(1) = ? | [pid 4907] <... wait4 resumed> [WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 1], 0, NULL) = 4908 | [pid 4907] --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) --- | [pid 4907] write(1, "403 Media Failure\nMedia: Debian"..., 122) = 122 | [pid 4905] <... select resumed> ) = 1 (in [19], left {0, 400000}) | [pid 4905] read(19, "403 Media Failure\nMedia: Debian"..., 4000) = 122 | Media Change: Please insert the disc labeled 'Debian GNU_Linux slink (2.1) 2_4 main binary-i386 section 2, contrib SAM19990325' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter | ) = 169 | [pid 4905] read(0, <unfinished ...> | [pid 4907] select(1, [0], NULL, NULL, NULL <unfinished ...> My fstab has the following line: | /dev/hdd /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0 Now I´m defeated ;-) I have tried this with and without automount, mounting /cdrom before (which doesn´t help, since apt-get clearly unmounts /cdrom first), not mounting it before. The manpages give me no clue either. This is apt 0.3.0 for i386. TIA for any hints, Colin -- Colin Marquardt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
