deb-cdrom line from /etc/apt/sources.list is not deleted after install

Good afternoon,

I've noticed that after installing Devuan Excallibur, I manually need to comment (or delete) the line that begins with deb-cdrom on the /etc/apt/sources.list file.

If I don't do that, I will not be able to update the system, as apt warns me about this.

Why the line that begins with "deb-cdrom" is not automatically commented or deleted just after the system is installed, like other distros? I mean, why do I need to do this manually?

Thank you for you patience and help.

Re: deb-cdrom line from /etc/apt/sources.list is not deleted after install

This line remains listed in the sources.list when there is no network connection during installation, or if you do deny the question for a sever connection. The installer assumes an offline installation and leaves the cdrom line.
