I'm not sure how you expect to progress if you expect people here,
following your blow by blow account, to write each commandline for
you in full.

It's fairly obvious that APT::Cache::GivenOnly applies to the
apt-cache command, given the words it has in common. In fact,
it's likely you have some options like this in your /etc/apt/
tree, eg:

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00trustcdrom :
APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true";

Cheers,
David.
