yes, that is my bug report. When I type "reportbug" it started the process.
I'm not sure how it picked that namd/email combo, unless I signed up for
reportbug with it long ago.... I use my yahoo account for some online STUFF
where I don't want to give out my good email IDs..

your repositories & mine might differ, and I've turned off the multimedia one
because it kept failing.

some /usr/bin/ files:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2009-01-08 12:07
cdrecord -> /opt/schily/bin/cdrecord
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2009-01-08 12:09
mkisofs -> /opt/schily/bin/mkisofs
and you are correct, I didn't take out genisoimage, but I did change mkisofs.
ii genisoimage 9:1.1.9-1 Creates ISO-9660 CD-ROM filesystem images
ii mkisofs 9:1.1.9-1 Dummy transition package for genisoimage

it is confusing, trust me.. trying to figure out what program calls what, and
what the error means, and why nero linux works and k3B/Brasero don't.. I
still don't know why Nero works or what it uses to burn stuff, and I still
don't know what changed to break k3B. I used to use makedvd -burn and then it
just stopped working. I still don't know exactly what they call or what
program is doing the actual work. I don't really WANT to know all the
underlying programs I JUST WANT IT TO WORK. But I am willing to work with
people to figure out what broke and help FIX it. Joerg was very patient with
me, helping me navigate through the maze to download/install cdrecord and
make it work.
