First of all, thank you very much for maintaining
apt.
It seems to me that Debian's fine system
administration tools, like apt, make the life of
system administrators easier.
The main reason I'm writing is I may have
replicated the bug originally reported here.
In 2019.
While trying to upgrade a computer running stable
to testing on DVDs.
Here's what I tried:
root$ cd-rom add # With testing DVD 1 in the optical drive
root$ cd-rom add # With testing DVD 2 in the optical drive
root$ cd-rom add # With testing DVD 3 in the optical drive
root$ apt update
Ign:1 cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Bullseye_ - Official Snapshot i386
DVD Binary-1 (date and time bla bla bla)] bullseye InRelease
(5 similar error messages)
Err:7 cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Bullseye_ - Official Snapshot i386
DVD Binary-1 (date and time bla bla bla)] bullseye Release
Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get
update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs
(10 similar error messages)
Reading package lists... Done
E: The repository 'cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Bullseye_ - Official
Snapshot i386 DVD Binary-1 (date and time bla bla bla)] Release' does not have
a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore
disabled by default.
(10 similar error messages)
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration
details.
I also tried
root$ apt-get update
and editing /etc/apt/sources.list by
commenting out stable's cdrom lines and
inserting between the words "deb" and "cdrom:"
[ trusted=yes ] and
[ trusted=yes allow-insecure=yes ]
No luck.
So,
Kingsley
