It will only look on the CD if you have the CD enabled in your
/etc/apt/sources.list - otherwise it looks on the net. It should look
something like this with a valid sources.list:

$ sudo apt-get install -s vsftpd
[sudo] password for <user>:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  vsftpd
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Inst vsftpd (2.0.7-0ubuntu1 Ubuntu:9.04/jaunty)
Conf vsftpd (2.0.7-0ubuntu1 Ubuntu:9.04/jaunty)

Note: the '-s' is for 'simulate' so I didn't actually install it.

vsftpd is in the main Ubuntu repository, so if you have a network
connection it should fetch it properly:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/net/vsftpd

Check your sources.list & comment out the CD:

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release i386
