You can try the experimental APt v3, it will need the slink base libraries to run but it is able to deal with these sort of cds. Run apt-cdrom add Make sure that your cdrom is mountable on /cdrom/ and that it is unmounted :> It will add a new entry to your sources.list and magically fix the package files. (hopefully) You can grab it from http://www.debian.org/~jgg, the one with the date as the version number. Jason
