Bug Description

The version of dvd+rw-tools in dapper backports is now 7.0.6~dapper1. When I try to upgrade to this version (using synaptic), an error window tells me "dvd+rw-tools: Depends: genisoimage but it is not installable". I searched for genisoimage, and the only version I found was in feisty.

This has also been reported in the forums in a few places, including:

*sigh* it worked when the backport was originally approved.

genisoimage is the mkisofs equivalent in cdrkit.... I'll investigate either backporting cdrkit or patching dvd+rw-tools to use mkisofs.

"apt-get install dvd+rw-tools/dapper" allows you to install normal Dapper dvd+rw-tools while I prefer a non-dvd+rw-tools package.

Ok, I've disabled cdrkit patches and did reverted some manpage references too... I've verified that the package now installs in Dapper chroot and I was able to burn a DVD from the chroot too, so all looks good.

P.S. My last post makes no sense. Sorry about that...
