I tried using synaptic to load packages in my new Debian 12.8. After I
specified many packages, I clicked on "Apply" and received the message:
"Please insert disk labeled: Debian GNU/Linux 12.8.0 _Bookworm_ Official
amd64 DVD Binary-1 with firmware 20241109-11:05 in drive /media/cdrom"
I do not have such a CD. I installed from a USB stick.
I tried to continue and received the message "Failed to fetch cdrom Debian
GNU/Linux 12.8.0 _Bookworm_ Official amd64 DVD
Binary-1/pool/main/r/rsync/rsync-3.2.7-1-arm64.deb".
Why does synaptic need firmware? Is synaptic supposed to be usable on a fresh
installation?
