..yup, those came as I tried to aptitude upgrade at least 
one of my 2 Sid boxes.  (2? 4! ;o))

..correct, and I was in a hurry and got pissed: ;o)
  474  aptitude update
  475  aptitude update
  476  aptitude dist-upgrade

..for a45 I dunno, for 2p3 most likely the old (June 2006) cdrecord
version, both these boxes are Sid, a45 is my conflict finder and main
workstation,  2p3 is a _noisy_ old server box I use for FlightGear cvs
stunts.

..a wee bit of dpkg brutality will fix it though, but you will wanna
automate that fix and a chk for it, trivial for us but might scare off
newbies.

> And what exactly fails to burn a CD? How? Any error messages?

..a45 upgraded to wodim fine from cdrecord, but wodim would not burn
from the k3b gui on a45 when I reported this conflict,  cdrecord burned
a cd fine from k3b on 2p3, but honked the conflict horn on it's first
update since June, which is why-n-when I filed this conflict bug.

..I'll need to try burn another cd, and then file a bug for that no-burn
problem, if it remains, I don't see any relation between these 2 bugs,
just a likely trivial failure on wodim where cdrecord used to work,
might be some dirty wee trick.
