Hi! I'm trying to upgrade to sid from potato using unofficial CD-ROM's. They seem to be ok, but 'apt-cdrom add' says:
Using CD-ROM mount point /cdrom/ Unmounting CD-ROM Please insert a Disc in the drive and press enter Mounting CD-ROM Identifying.. [44ab4f5c5591363b72fc3fe648619814-2] Scanning Disc for index files.. Found 13 package indexes and 6 source indexes. Found label 'Debian GNU/Linux 2.3 "Sid" - Unofficial i386 Binary-1 (20010429)' This Disc is called: 'Debian GNU/Linux 2.3 _Sid_ - Unofficial i386 Binary-1 (20010429)' Reading Package Indexes... Done Wrote 1764 records with 6110 missing files. Alot of entries were discarded, something may be wrong. Reading Source Indexes... Done Wrote 0 records with 4539 missing files. W: No valid records were found. E: Handler silently failed # And it doesn't include the corresponding line in 'sources.list'. The CD-ROM's seem to be ok, because if I include the following entries in 'sources.list': deb file:/cdrom sid main contrib non-free deb file:/cdrom sid/non-US main contrib non-free deb file:/cdrom sid-secured main contrib non-free deb file:/cdrom sid-secured/non-US main contrib non-free then 'apt-get update' finds that everything is ok and 'apt-get dist-upgrade' upgrade the available packages. The problem is that I can mount every CD-ROM at the same time! and obviously I don't have in my hard disk enough space to copy every CD-ROM in it: Any ideas or experience upgrading to sid from CD-ROM? Thanks in advance. -- Santiago Fernandez Linux Registered User #164729
