I believe that the above-flagged problem is similar to the one that I posted to this thread. But either I have not understand the suggested solution or the solution is nonviable with my setup. The only entries on my "/etc/apt/sources.list" relate to my DVDs. The reason is that my connection to the Internet is too slow for viable online "dist upgrades"; and even if an online "aptitude update" actually managed to go to completion, I would just end up with an out-of-sync setup. Is there any available strategy that applies to cases like mine?
