hi all and *especially j=F6rg s., long-term initiator of cdrecord and=20
cdrtools*.



two weeks ago i asked on this list 'what is better': cdrecord or wodim.=20
on one of the responses i answered that the most recent version of=20
cdrecord/cdr-tools completely damaged two brandnew cdrom's. j=F6rg asked=20
me for more info: and here comes some.



  1.   only one cd/dvd-burner om my machine produced this undesirable=20
effect. a couple of other burners worked flawlessly with the most recent=20
b=EAta of j=F6rg sch.
so it could be that j=F6rg did not make this beta recognize this burner:=20

  It shouldn't matter which frontend you use.  All the major frontends
check the signature of the Release file when you download package lists
from the archive.  The Release file contains a cryptographic checksum
for the Packages file, which contains checksums for each individual .deb
package.



  dpkg performs no key checking, at least on packages in the Debian
archive.  There was some experimental code to stick embedded signatures
into .deb files, but I don't know what it's status is and packages
containing signatures aren't allowed in the archive last I heard.

  Won't work -- the ()s are shell metacharacters, and sudo knows
nothing about them.  What you would need to do this with just one
sudo is something like:



sudo sh -c "command_1 | command_2"



  with appropriate wariness towards quoting gremlins.
