Description Sebastian Vahl 2007-06-13 13:54:04 UTC 
Description of problem:
cdrtools shipped readcd. This program is used eg by graveman to copy cds. But
graveman could not find readcd because this one is missing and readom is not
linked to readcd (as cdrecord links to cdrecord).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
wodim-1.1.2-4.fc7

How reproducible:
ever

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install wodim graveman
2. start graveman
3. see "File -> Preferences -> External programs". 

Actual results:
graveman could not copy cds because it is missing readcd.

Expected results:
readcd should be a symlink to readom so that graveman could find readcd.

Additional info:
1. A simple "ln -s /usr/bin/readom /usr/bin/readcd" would do the job.

2. I filed this bug against cdrkit because wodim has no single entry in bugzilla.

Comment 5 Harald Hoyer 2007-10-08 07:23:48 UTC 
$ ll /usr/bin/readcd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 2007-09-27 12:50 /usr/bin/readcd ->
/etc/alternatives/cdrecord-readcd
$ ll /etc/alternatives/cdrecord-readcd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2007-09-27 12:50 /etc/alternatives/cdrecord-readcd ->
/usr/bin/readom
Comment 6 Luis Felipe Marzagao 2007-10-08 20:08:16 UTC 
[root@localhost ~]# yum list | grep -i wodim
wodim.i386                               1.1.6-5.fc7            installed 

[root@localhost ~]# ll /usr/bin/readcd
ls: impossível acessar /usr/bin/readcd: Arquivo ou diretório não encontrado

[root@localhost ~]# ll /etc/alternatives/cdrecord-readcd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2007-10-05 10:58 /etc/alternatives/cdrecord-readcd ->
/usr/bin/readom

So I guess de solution is manually create the /usr/bin/readcd link. Because I've
never erased it (that´s for sure!!!)
Comment 7 Forrest Cahoon 2007-10-09 03:34:53 UTC 
Same here with fc7 on x86_64:

[root@celeste ~]# yum list | grep -i wodim
wodim.x86_64                             1.1.6-5.fc7            installed       

The symlink created by alternatives is getting automatically deleted by some
process or another.  The data in /var/lib/alternatives/cdrecord looks right, though.

Here's my workaround, making use of the alternatives program (although I suppose
it effectively does the same thing as manually creating the missing symlink):

[root@celeste ~]# /usr/sbin/alternatives --config cdrecord

There is 1 program that provides 'cdrecord'.

  Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
*+ 1           /usr/bin/wodim

Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: 1
[root@celeste ~]# /usr/sbin/alternatives --auto cdrecord

After that, everything should be fine.
