Comment 53 for bug 233942

OK, again...

$ sudo dpkg -i mkisofs_2.01.01a50-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 248447 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace mkisofs 10:2.01.01a50-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy (using mkisofs_2.01.01a50-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy_i386.deb) ...

So it seems that it isn't being installed because the genisoimage package already "provides" it. But you can't remove genisoimage without also removing ubuntu-desktop, so you'd have to make a dummy package to work around this.

But it's all beside the point, because unless the license issue is settled Ubuntu won't go back to using cdrtools and thus genisoimage should be properly fixed. But since I haven't found a single version of it that does work it's hard to say when things broke...
