Comment 118 for bug 149076

You may add the cdrtools repo mentioned in the first comment by issuing the following command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:brandonsnider/cdrtools

be warned, saucy packages are still missing. so this won't work on Ubuntu Saucy 13.10
I manually added
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/brandonsnider/cdrtools/ubuntu raring main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/brandonsnider/cdrtools/ubuntu raring main
to my sources list of saucy.
Installing worked fine, but it did not help much writing CDs. I still get errors, but they might be caused from a bad CDR.
