Sorry to say this but Art Alexion is correct. The best thing to do is
leave all those packages the way they were at first and just remove
(rename it to something else with the word backup is better) the file
called
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules
Then reboot your computer.
All should now be working. It also will prevent any future problems
and will make ALL the software work.

The only bad side of this is that you should undo my first patch. The
patch will still work though as long as the drive does not move from
scd0 which it could if you add a new drive or upgrade your system.
