Try 'apt-get install xcdroast'; apt is correct when it says there is
no package called 'cdroast' (hint: 'apt-cache search cdroast')

However, my gut feeling is that won't either, because you say cdrecord
has unmet dependencies.  Did you try installing that with apt?  You
don't say ...

If you are still getting dependency problems you should post the
contents of /etc/apt/sources.list so we can see what you're trying to
do.
