Thanks for your help tz. Just updating back here on how I fixed this for others in the same boat:
I downloaded the apt deb package from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com /hardy-updates/apt Then I copied it across to the server that didn't have internet connectivity and can only be updated using the cdrom images. Then I ran "dpkg -i apt_0.7.9ubuntu17.1_i386.deb" as root. Then I could "apt-cdrom add" successfully. I did get some errors about "Skipping non-exisiting file", but I could apt-get upgrade / apt-get dist-upgrade successfully to 8.10. -- requires uncompressed Packages files on CDs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255545 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
