This bug report is not against cdrecord but against a broken fork. The specific problem mentioned in the bug report has never been in cdrtools (the original software). The problem mentioned in the bug report results from incorrectly interfacing to hald in the fork. I recommend you to install

You are not using cdrecord but wodim. You thus cannot expect that writing to DVDs works at all. wodim is a fork made from a more than 4 year old cdrecord version by adding plenty of bugs and by replacing the mature DVD support from the original cdrecord by something half baken. Note that if you

The fork is using a non-cooperative packaging. It may be that you need to remove the files wodim, genisoimage and similar by hand and after installing the original software create symlinks with the names from the fork that point to the original software. For a long term solution, you could ask
