There are two problems:
1. There's a problem of some sort with /media/richard/debian9/dvd1
    itself -- investigating.
2. There's a side effect of originally installing system from DVD(s).
    Synaptic when doing "Edit->Reload Package Information" will not
    accept there be any existing reference to DVD(s) in sources.list.
