[Bug 115536] Re: apt-cdrom add fails to mount the medium

[Battant]

Hello,

 If I type ihis command i a terminal

sudo apt-cdrom -m add

I get this result

 apt-cdrom -m add
Using CD-ROM mount point /media/cdrom/
Identifying... 
E: Unable to change to /media/cdrom/ - chdir (2: No such file or directory)
E: No CD-ROM could be auto-detected or found using the default mount point.
You may try the --cdrom option to set the CD-ROM mount point.
See 'man apt-cdrom' for more information about the CD-ROM auto-detection and mount point.


It seem the cdrom mount point it in the seme folder that the other mount point device

In my case is this

/media/mparchet/Ubuntu\ 15.10\ amd64/

Sould I create a symbolik  link /media/cdrom/that point on the cdrom

sudo ln -s /media/mparchet/Ubuntu\ 15.10\ amd64/ /media/cdrom

I tesed this semm work.

Coul you confirm thos


Thanks for your help

Title:
  apt-cdrom add fails to mount the medium

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in synaptic package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt

  While running 'apt-cdrom add' in my notebook its always fails saying:
  E: Failed to mount the cdrom.

  APT looks into /etc/fstab to get the default cdrom mount point. My fstab looks like:
  /dev/cdrom        /cdrom   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0

  APT tries to mount '/cdrom/' instead of just '/cdrom' (withou slash).
  If I change fstab and add the slash in the mount point everything
  works well.

  Suggestion:
  a) APT needs to use the hal mounting point instead the /etc/fstab, so it would works with no mention in fstab
  b) The default fstab mounting point should be '/cdrom/' instead of just '/cdrom'
  c) The default mounting point where apt looks into should be '/cdrom'
