[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#691050: [k3b] sometimes complains about missing dependencies (cdrdao, dvd+rw-tools) when launched

Package: k3b
Version: 2.0.2-6
Severity: minor

I changed K3b's language from French to English and restarted it. It 
then strangely complained about cdrdao missing, even though it didn't do 
that in French:

> Unable to find cdrdao executable
> K3b uses cdrdao to actually write CDs.
> Solution: Install the cdrdao package.

It does that every time it's launched in English, and now even in French.

I tested that with another user and had the problem right away, in 
French, but with dvd+rw-tools instead. The problem disappeared when I 
forced the language to English.
k3b depends on both dvd+rw-tools and cdrdao

Setting severity as minor as I haven't determined that this message is a 
symptom of any actual failure of K3b to use its dependencies. In fact, 
if I go in the settings, K3b correctly shows cdrdao as installed. Oh 
wait, now it doesn't show... very odd behavior. After going in the 
configuration a few times, the issue for my main user changed to say 
dvd+rw-tools was missing, too. After some 20 test, k3b never complained 
about both dvd+rw-tools and cdrdao missing at the same time.
