[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#699420: k3b: impossible Erase window: 'Found medium: Empty CD-RW medium' & 'Waiting for Disk'

[A. Costa]

Package: k3b
Version: 2.0.2-6
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

With a used CDRW disk (apparently undamaged) in the drive, to be blanked,
K3B correctly reported:

    Found medium: Empty CD-RW medium

In that same window K3B made an impossible request:

    Please insert a rewritable CD medium into drive(...)

None of the three options offered: 'Load', 'Eject', or 'Cancel', 
helped K3B do any erasing.

(See attached PNG.)

PS : Perhaps the CDRW medium was borked by another burner program.
Usually K3B blanks disks just fine.  But a high level burner app should
never contradict itself -- bad media is no excuse!

PPS: later, 'xfburn' was able to blank the same CDRW medium.


HTH...
