Comment 6 for bug 530141

Thanks for the reply.

If the problem is social, and 6 years old, I'll despair of it ever being fixed.

Do you know of any source for a packaged fix for this? If no one else has done it, I will just package cdrecord into a .deb file, and install that. So, I will still be able to use kubuntu packages without worrying about kubuntu changes disabling k3b.

Thanks.
