Package: brasero
Version: 3.0.0-4
Followup-For: Bug #594522

I can confirm this issue as well for Testing:

sg at t500sg:~$ LANG= dpkg -l brasero
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

ii  brasero        3.0.0-4        CD/DVD burning application for GNOME


>From what I could see brasero always wants to write CD text informations when
burning an audio CD. Thats why it fails without brasero-cdrkit. In this mode it
writes CDs using wodim instead of cdrdao. So cdrdao is not part of the show.

>From this the following question arises to me:

Why does brasero insist on writing CD Text infos, if brasero-cdrkit is absent?
Why doesn't it show a more specific error message, if brasero-cdrkit is absent?
Why does it want to write CD Text infos at all?
Why there is no switch in brasero to force CD Text off?

A simple but nasty 'solution' would be to make brasero depended on brasero-
cdrkit.

Cheers,
Sven
