Did you even look at your sources.list file to see if it had an active CD-ROM entry?  Did you try to install the google gpg key?
One of us needs to learn something!  Please note that aptitude or apt-get reads the mirrors listing from the sources.list file including any CD-ROM entry.  You must have an active CD-ROM entry in your sources.list file. Check and see for yourself.
