[Pkg-opt-media-team] Bug#704739: growisofs: dvd+rw-format man page is incomplete and growisofs man page should mention this utility

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: growisofs
Version: 7.1-10
Severity: normal

I got an error when using "growisofs -Z ..." on DVD-RW medias (while
there was no such problem with DVD+RW medias). Something like:

:-[ WRITE at LBA=0h failed with SK=5h/INVALID ADDRESS FOR WRITE]: Invalid argument
:-( attempt to re-run with -dvd-compat -dvd-compat to engage DAO or apply full blanking procedure
:-( write failed: Invalid argument

The man pages under Debian neither explain the problem nor what to do.
This should be fixed, as done under Red Hat:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810838

I've tested, and this solved my problem.

Moreover the growisofs man page should mention dvd+rw-format.
