Bug Description
I don't have a high-speed Internet connection so I downloaded apart the DVDs with the Universe/Multiverse repositories, and then added them to my repositories list.
Sometimes I install a package that needs dependencies from several DVDs, and apt asks me for those, always in the same order (I suppose this is the order I added them).
If apt just needs the DVD 2 and this is mounted, doesn't ask it and installas. But if needs the DVD 1 and 2 and the 2 is mounted, asks me the 1 and then the 2, instead of using first the one that is mounted.
I know this is not a bug, this is a nonsense. But I know a lot of people (well, not too much) that use this kind of repositories because want to use Ubuntu and don't have (or can't configure) their Internet connection.
