** Also affects: synaptic (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: apt
While running 'apt-cdrom add' in my notebook its always fails saying:
E: Failed to mount the cdrom.
APT looks into /etc/fstab to get the default cdrom mount point. My fstab
looks like:
- /dev/cdrom /cdrom udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
+ /dev/cdrom /cdrom/ udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
APT tries to mount '/cdrom/' instead of just '/cdrom' (withou slash). If
I change fstab and remove the slash from the mount point everything
works well.
Suggestion:
a) APT needs to use the hal mounting point instead the /etc/fstab, so it
would works with no mention in fstab
b) The default fstab mounting point should be '/cdrom/' instead of just
'/cdrom'
c) The default mounting point where apt looks into should be '/cdrom'
