Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt-file
I have a fresh install of Gutsy on my laptop. I have the Gutsy Alternate install CD called out in my sources.list:
deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016.1)]/ gutsy main restricted
When I run other apt-* utilities, I see them calling for the CD, and they have no problem. However, apt-file does this:
root@dragon:~# apt-file update
Put CDROM labeled [Ubuntu_
read: 1: arg count
mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
cp: cannot stat `/cdrom/
root@dragon:~#
This may be because there is no such file on the disk:
root@dragon:~# find /cdrom/* -iname Contents-i386.gz
root@dragon:~# find /cdrom/* -iname Contents\*
root@dragon:~#
I have no idea whether this is a fatal error or something I can ignore. If this is normal, please give a less cryptic error message.
Thank you.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?
