Don't have any 3rd-party repositories as far as I know.


It turns out the erro message from the update manager is not actually
very acurate.

Synaptic gave me the real reason for the error:
Depends: genisoimage  but it is not installable

I think the new version of dvd+rw tools is a backport, and they didn't
backport a dependancy.

Why does the packaging system even allow this? packages.ubuntu.com
knows full well that the dependancy can't be satsfied, it even told me
so. Surely the Ubuntu server could check this when a package
maintainer trys to upload a package?

Oh well I will file a bug report. Not entirely sure how to file for a
particular version of the package.
