[Bug 37423] Me too, plus workaround and upstream fix

[Tony Lewis]

"Me too".  I have the identical problem on a Dell Inspiron 6400.

Issue is discussed here: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122568.
Short version is that it appears to be that cdrecord wants to scan the
SCSI bus again, but hasn't got read permission for /dev/sg0 (hard drive)
so barfs before it can get to /dev/sg1 (DVD-RW).

Best workaround is here:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/k3b/+bug/25380/comments/3.
Other workarounds are to "dpkg-reconfigure cdrecord" and let it run as
SUID, or to "chown root:cdrom /dev/sg0" after each reboot, in order of
decreasing recommendedness

The KDE bug indicates that a fix was committed to the K3b SVN on 30
October 2006.  So that'll be in feisty, and not edgy, I assume
