Package: nautilus-cd-burner
Version: 2.14.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

nautilus-cd-burner fails to call cdrecord correctly; and thus fails to
burn an ISO image.

(( an aside; discovering the '--source-iso' option was pure dumb luck;
something in README.Debian to indicate that using that option from the
command line can be useful for debugging would be good ))

eve:[~]% strace -ff -efork,execve -s1500 nautilus-cd-burner --source-iso=/home/anand/Desktop/data.iso
execve("/usr/bin/nautilus-cd-burner", ["nautilus-cd-burner", "--source-iso=/home/anand/Desktop/data.iso"], [/* 40 vars */]) = 0

(nautilus-cd-burner:16796): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_error_free: assertion

So, the underlying command should be:
/usr/bin/cdrecord.mmap fs=16m dev=/dev/hdc -dao driveropts=burnfree -v -data -nopad /home/anand/Desktop/data.iso

BUT what I see in the process list is:

/usr/bin/cdrecord mmap fs=16m dev=/dev/hdc -dao driveropts=burnfree -v -data -nopad /home/anand/Desktop/data.iso

eve:[~]% cdrecord mmap fs=16m dev=/dev/hdc -dao driveropts=burnfree -v -data -nopad /home/anand/Desktop/data.iso
cdrecord: No write mode specified.
cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode.
cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent
defaults.
cdrecord: Continuing in 5 seconds...
cdrecord: Badly placed option. Global options must be before any track.

The GUI interface crashes and burns (heh) without anything useful

If I correct this and put use 'cdrecord.mmap', I get:

eve:[~]% cdrecord.mmap fs=16m dev=/dev/hdc -dao driveropts=burnfree -v -data -nopad /home/anand/Desktop/data.iso

Run this command via sudo and it succeeds, even though I think I have
