OK, this has been reported by others.  I don't have a copy of the
-current packages on my home box right now so this has been sort of
going untested (yeeks) during these SNAPs and Murphy has a special
place for untested features. :-)

I'll find and fix whatever I did to the poor package installer with
my media code hacking.

Hmmm, interesting.  Is your CDROM already mounted or not when you
do this?

This has always been a bit hosed on the revisit.  I'll try and fix it
soon.

Really?  What media type?  It's certainly on ftp.cdrom.com
