apt-cdrom on iso mount
|
|
|
I'm having some trouble getting apt to use a mounted .iso image on my
hdd.
I've set it up in my /etc/fstab as:
/root/debian-31r2-i386-binary-1.iso /mnt/deb_iso1 iso9660 loop,ro 0 0
and then ran the following
# apt-cdrom -d /mnt/deb_iso1 -m add
Using CD-ROM mount point /mnt/deb_iso1/
Identifying.. [bc7d47aca21b2972f0aaf5a21ff1fbd4-2]
Scanning Disc for index files.. Found 2 package indexes and 0 source indexes.
This Disc is called:
'Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r2 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20060419)'
Reading Package Indexes... Done
Wrote 7051 records.
Writing new source list
Source List entries for this Disc are:
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r2 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20060419)]/ unstable contrib main
Repeat this process for the rest of the CDs in your set.
no problem so far..
I now have this in my /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r2 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20060419)]/ unstable contrib main
and this in my /var/lib/apt/cdroms.list
CD::bc7d47aca21b2972f0aaf5a21ff1fbd4-2 "Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r2 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20060419)";
CD::bc7d47aca21b2972f0aaf5a21ff1fbd4-2::Label "Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r2 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20060419)";
aptitude update runs fine..
finally, I go to install a package:
# apt-get install apt-howto
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
apt-howto-ca apt-howto-common apt-howto-de apt-howto-el apt-howto-en
apt-howto-es apt-howto-fr apt-howto-it apt-howto-ja apt-howto-ko
apt-howto-pl apt-howto-pt-br apt-howto-ru apt-howto-tr
The following NEW packages will be installed:
apt-howto apt-howto-ca apt-howto-common apt-howto-de apt-howto-el

Need to get 0B/3894kB of archives.
After unpacking 6078kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
Media Change: Please insert the disc labeled
'Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r2 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20060419)'
in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter
And there's the problem -- why does it want to use /cdrom/ when I told
it the cdrom mount point was /mnt/deb_iso1?
Can I edit the sources.list file to override the cdrom mount point for
each .iso I want to use?
Thanks,
Nick

Use file:// rather than cdrom: for archives on disk. When
apt-get sees a cdrom: source, it naturally thinks that it's a
real CD-ROM device.

Yup 
Here's what my file left me with after using the 1st Sarge CDROM (3.1rc1 at
that time). But; I have it (actually) commented out (a '#' prefixed to that
line), since I told the installer to no longer look there anymore.
~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main
[...]
the above would be for Sarge - you may want to add 'contrib' and 'nonfree' to
the end (not sure).
Ex;
deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main contrib non-free
Review 'man apt-cdrom'

That makes some degree of sense -- however, for one thing the mounted
iso image cannot be used directly as a file:// source as far as I can
tell (the Packages file is not in the expected place, etc -- please
correct me if I'm wrong about this!).
To use this DVD as a file source I think I'm going to have to copy all
the .debs out into a directory and generate my own Packages list as
described in the Apt howto (using a bunch of debs as a file source
etc).
Another thing is what happens if I have multiple CD drives? Does a deb
cdrom source always have to use the /cdrom/ pointer as the cd drive?
This does seem like a limitation as /cdrom/ might point to a cdrom
drive whereas in this case I'm using a DVD which would need to go in
the other drive (I know I can just adjust the symlink but still..).
Anyways, any further comments on this would be appreciated -- I'm
prolly just gonna copy off all the .debs and throw away the .iso
images. It does seem a shame that I can't use them though as jigdo
seems like a pretty handy mechanism to keep a current set of .isos on
my hard drive.

Hmm. I seem to be having what may be a related problem: Originally
(around November last year) I had downloaded the first dvd of Debian
Etch from snapshots, via jigdo. I used it initially as a source 'cd
rom' image.
Recently, I decided to re-jigdo the disk, from fresher snapshot
sources, and used apt-cdrom to add this new DVD as a source image. This
part went well. However, I wanted also to redo my apt-file database and
can't get past the part where apt-file asks for the DVD image, and
promptly spits out that it can't find the Packages.gz file.

Why not?
Are you saying you never actually burned the CD image?

FWIW; the protocol is "file:///" _not_ "file://"

Well I burned the DVD but I dont want to use it :P
I had another look at file:/ and got it working (not sure what I had
wrong yesterday but this time it picked it up right away):
deb file:/mnt/deb_iso1/ stable main contrib
