Bug#617409: brasero: Brasero corrupts all blank CD-R when burning (was: additional info)

Hi,

I thought i addressed my mails
  To: 617409 at bugs.debian.org 
  Cc: all others.
but To: shows up with rpnpif at free.fr.
I am using a halfways self-written mail client which makes it easy to
shoot my foot.
SMTP-wise the bug report was on the list of recipients:
  < 250 mail.gmx.net GMX Mailservices {mp028}
  ...
  > RCPT TO:617409 at bugs.debian.org
  < 250 2.1.5 ok {mp028}
  ...

617409 at bugs.debian.org is added to Cc: now.

I should remember. I use that Debian installation mainly for daring
experiments.

  # find . -name patches
  ./brasero-2.30.3/debian/patches
  # cd brasero-2.30.3
  # chmod -R ... ; chgrp -R ...
  # exit
  $ cd brasero-2.30.3

Well, that's not brasero-2.30.3-2 either.

  $ ls -lt * */* */*/* */*/*/* */*/*/*/*

Looks quite like the one that is installed
  $ ls -l /usr/bin/brasero
  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 470776 Nov  6  2010 /usr/bin/brasero

But ./brasero-2.30.3 seems not built yet.
What command next (before patching) ?

There is not much use in diagnostic messages before we can reproduce
the problem.
I am about the contrary of a typical Brasero user. So maybe i just lack
of the bad luck which comes with frequent use of clickicolorful GUIs ? :))


Pun aside. There are too many problem reports with Debian and Ubuntu,
for just a few users being out of luck.
Even if we subtract 50 percent for people whose burners mishandle the media.

So there must be a way to get a bad Brasero by means of Debian and/or Ubuntu.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
