Title:
  apt-cdrom fails due to inconsistent choice of mount points

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt

  I did a network (medialess) install of Ubuintu 10.04LTS on a new PC,
  then added a CDROM source using "apt-cdrom add".

  It recongized my media and added appropriate lines to sources.list
  anmd so on, but installing packages from the CDROM at the console
  command line fails with "file not found" messages.

  On this system (presumably, because it's a medialess install) there is
  no entry for the cdrom in /etc/fstab.

  It looks like what happens is that apt-get, etc., mount the CDROM at
  /media/apt, but when lookng for packages it's searching under /cdrom,
  whgich does not exist.

  Creating a symbolic link to /media/apt at /cdrom allows things to
  work, but should not be necessary.  Apt-cdrom should use the same
  mountpoint for accessing files on the CDROM as it used to mount the
  medium.
