Occasionally, and particularly if you are following the unstable
release, some packages are broken for various reasons. This was the
case with the package cdrecord
in unstable. This package
was compiled with kernel 2.4.n and had some kernel specific issues
that were done differently with kernel 2.2.n. At compile time one or
the other options was chosen (but not both!). Thus the newer binary
versions of cdrecord
would not run on a system using
kernel 2.2.n. One solution is to build a Debian package of
cdrecord
using the wajig build command. Another
is to reinstall an older version that worked and then place the
package on hold with:
A wajig upgrade would not try to upgrade this package.
