It's a known feature at the moment. You may not have noticed yet, but the Sources files on the source CDs have the same issue. There have been a couple of suggestions of how to make them work again: copy the full Packages/Sources file(s) from the mirror onto each CD and let apt-cdrom cope when it scans the CD and finds files missing. or generate a single Packages file for the whole of each CD during the build process, instead of within dists/<version>/<section> as we do now. I've been testing a version of the second one this week. I'm not especially happy with it yet, but in case people are interested here's a patch against current CVS head. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. stevem@chiark.greenend.org.uk "It's actually quite entertaining to watch ag129 prop his foot up on the desk so he can get a better aim."
