Still a problem (apt-get won't recognize when right cd is in drive). On Mon, Nov 06, 2000 at 08:57:46AM -0500, Ben Collins wrote: > On Mon, Nov 06, 2000 at 02:14:58AM +, Brenda J.

I have to admit I haven't tried this yet. I prefer to try to upgrade off the cds first, however if that doesn't work I will try this.

Thanks for this info, I downloaded this page and was able to update my kernel and apt-get and dpkg (and libc). However, when I try to do the final step: apt-get dist-upgrade I still get the message telling me to put disk 1 of potato in the cdrom drive, even when I have already put that disk there. I wiped out the /etc/apt/sources.list and /var/state/apt/cdroms.list, and re-created them (yet) again with apt-cdrom add, and this problem still exists. Once again I tried editing the cdroms.list file by hand but that didn't help (nor make things worse). I looked in /var/log/messages but no apt-messages there... is there another place to look for apt failure messages? Do I really have to download the woody version of apt to make this work? Since apt-get install worked on individual packages (kernel-image, apt, etc), I suppose I could do that for each of the 451 upgraded, and 69 new packages, but it seems that apt-get dist-upgrade should be able to do it by itself. I did try to mount the disks, and look at them. They seem fine. I unmounted again before trying again. The only thing I can notice is that the /cdrom/.disk/info file contains Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 0a "Potato" - Official sparc Binary-2 (2818) while the apt-get program asks for Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 0a _Potato_ - Official sparc Binary-2 (2818) But I assume that the apt-get program identifies the disk by the cd id number, not the label, so this shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for your help so far. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus! Copy me into your ~/.signature, please! --

apt slink->potato using cds (long post)
I have a really slow net connection so upgrading over that is out of the question. I have a cdrom, and I have three sets of cdroms: (extracted from /var/state/apt/cdroms.list:) Debian GNU_Linux slink (2.1_r4) 1_4 main binary-sparc section 1 SAM19991221 Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-1 (2520) Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-2 (2520) Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-3 (2520) Debian GNU_Linux 2.2 0a _Potato_ - Official sparc Binary-2 (2818) Debian GNU_Linux 2.2 0a _Potato_ - Official sparc Binary-1 (2818) The slink distribution was installed on my sun sparc 20, and has never been upgraded. I'm trying to upgrade now. That means I'm using the apt suite that came with the slink distribution above. So I created the above cdroms.list and the /etc/apt/sources.list using the apt-cdrom add command. That resulted in a sources.list and cdroms.list like these: --- /etc/sources.list --- deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux 2.2 0a _Potato_ - Official sparc Binary-1 (2818)/" debian/dists/frozen/contrib/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux 2.2 0a _Potato_ - Official sparc Binary-1 (2818)/" debian/dists/frozen/main/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux 2.2 0a _Potato_ - Official sparc Binary-1 (2818)/" debian/dists/frozen/non-US/contrib/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux 2.2 0a _Potato_ - Official sparc Binary-1 (2818)/" debian/dists/frozen/non-US/main/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux 2.2 0a _Potato_ - Official sparc Binary-2 (2818)/" debian/dists/frozen/contrib/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux 2.2 0a _Potato_ - Official sparc Binary-2 (2818)/" debian/dists/frozen/main/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux 2.2 0a _Potato_ - Official sparc Binary-2 (2818)/" debian/dists/frozen/non-US/contrib/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux 2.2 0a _Potato_ - Official sparc Binary-2 (2818)/" debian/dists/frozen/non-US/main/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-3 (2520)/" debian/dists/frozen/contrib/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-3 (2520)/" debian/dists/frozen/main/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-3 (2520)/" debian/dists/frozen/non-US/contrib/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-3 (2520)/" debian/dists/frozen/non-US/main/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-3 (2520)/" debian/dists/frozen/non-US/non-free/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-3 (2520)/" debian/dists/frozen/non-free/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-2 (2520)/" debian/dists/frozen/contrib/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-2 (2520)/" debian/dists/frozen/main/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-2 (2520)/" debian/dists/frozen/non-US/contrib/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-2 (2520)/" debian/dists/frozen/non-US/main/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-2 (2520)/" debian/dists/frozen/non-US/non-free/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-2 (2520)/" debian/dists/frozen/non-free/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-1 (2520)/" debian/dists/frozen/contrib/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-1 (2520)/" debian/dists/frozen/main/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-1 (2520)/" debian/dists/frozen/non-US/contrib/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-1 (2520)/" debian/dists/frozen/non-US/main/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-1 (2520)/" debian/dists/frozen/non-US/non-free/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-1 (2520)/" debian/dists/frozen/non-free/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux slink (2.1_r4) 1_4 main binary-sparc section 1 SAM19991221/" debian/dists/stable/contrib/binary-sparc/ deb "cdrom:Debian GNU_Linux slink (2.1_r4) 1_4 main binary-sparc section 1 SAM19991221/" debian/dists/stable/main/binary-sparc/ --- /var/state/apt/cdroms.list --- CD::622ae86c26eaeab2f41c9dc8803aa52b-2 "Debian GNU_Linux slink (2.1_r4) 1_4 main binary-sparc section 1 SAM19991221"; CD::622ae86c26eaeab2f41c9dc8803aa52b-2::Label "Debian GNU/Linux slink (2.1_r4) 1/4 main binary-sparc section 1 SAM19991221"; CD::78c8ab84494194f2b624ae22807eb2fb-2 "Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-1 (2520)"; CD::2c0be581b7d387b274dfe34e80af08e0-2 "Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-2 (2520)"; CD::09865e137079055cdd60723474f0c8ac-2 "Debian GNU_Linux _Potato_ - sparc Binary-3 (2520)"; CD::f00d016aa72b474c73a5de7967962a43-2 "Debian GNU_Li
