Bug Description
Distribution Release: 12.04 Precise
Casper: 1.296
in scripts/
"Please provide a name for this Disc, such as 'Debian 5.0.3 Disk 1"
Some sort of checking is needed here to see if the conditions required for the apt-cdrom repository are fulfilled, and to fail silently if they are not - I've attached a possible patch:
* if /README.diskdefines does not exist in the root of the CDROM, exit with no error
having said that I'm not certain of the role of the README.diskdefines file, so it may not be the best choice for checking.
