Binary package hint: wodim

When I want to erase a CD-RW with wodim 1.1.9 (under Ubuntu 9.10), I get a error message and the disk is not erased. The same command works fine in Ubuntu 9.04 before I upgraded Ubuntu to 9.10.
As Brasero and K3b also use wodim they also cannot erase CD-RWs anymore after upgrading to 9.10...

Below is the output of wodim under Ubuntu 9.10 and 9.04...

Thanks, Andreas
